Synthroid dose similar to 12.5mcg cytomel fatburn?

[skunkworks]

I have access to tons of synthroid and I was wondering what is an equal dose to the 12.5mcg amount that Bigandy69 suggested.I know that it is 4 times weaker.Has anyone had decent result with synthroid? Any comments greatly appreciated.

I am on Synthroid at 100 mcg daily. Doesn't really do much for fat burn. Synthroid is basically for T-4. Cytomel is for T-3 which does more for fat burning. IMO Cytomel is better.

how about upping the dosage?

T4 will generally be converted/used on a as-needed basis; if your body doesn't feel like it needs to up the thyroid output, the T4 will stay inactive in your system no matter what, I believe.

This is my understanding as well. This is why it is effective for people with thyroid problems and not for the rest of us, our bodies are not converting the t4 to t3 as fast as we want it to. Similar to taking iodine someone once posted, and while I dont know about that, I would say you are better off getting the t3 for fat loss.
