Dude, I tend to agree with Big_A, but I know that is not the answer you want. We all are looking for info in here. I have used them with great success for contest prep. I used 1 a day for about 4-6 weeks. There can be many sides, too many to list, hence the strong warning. Many, many schools of thought here, OK! You CAN'T STOP TAKEN THIS STUFF COLD TURKEY!!!!! I did back in 1988, cause I didn't know WTF I was doing. I blew up like a pig, gained 30 pounds in 10 days!!!! NO BS!!!! So you need to wean yourself off them. There are numerous articles and how too's out there, so just do your home work. But for me, They kick ass for fat loss!!! Hope I was of help. A

The two main thyroid hormones are T4 (thyroxin) and T3 (levo-Triiodothyronine). The thyroid gland mainly produces T4 which is later converted by a deiodinase enzyme to T3. The interesting thing is that T3 is about five times more potent at
raising the Basal Metabolic Rate than T4. In a dieting situation, the body produces less deiodinase enzyme, therefore producing less T3.
Without the effects of the more potent T3 the Basal Metabolic Rate decreases. Of course, there is plenty of T4 but it’s just not potent enough to maintain the metabolism. With a lowered metabolism, less calories are burned on a daily basis and the diet ceases to work.
IMHO there is no place in BB for T4.
BigAndy69 has offered you an excellent link which i strongly suggest you read but these meds are to be treated with respect.
