do you have any literature that states 12.5mcg of T3 will not shut you down?

what is it with you people and 12.5mg of t3? the way i hear it t3 supplementation isn't even proven to shut down thyroid production. who knows?

all i can say is after i took t3 i showed signs of hypo thyroidism for at least 6-8 weeks

I have no scientific proof... no literature whatsoever..
dont think there is... cause the dosage depends on the person.
I only can tell you my experience...
i've used it a couple of times now... works great. Have gone to 50mcg a day for 5 weeks and had no visible sides. No shutdown either. Used 12.5mcg aday for 6 weeks once... same outcome.. great results, no shutdown or any visible sides.

Good luck bro

well if i read the posts right- 12.5mcg is not supposed to interfere with your natural thyroid at all. Im wondering if there are any studies that prove this. IMO, T3 does shut you down, just not permanently like some people say.

Wrong, nobody says it doesn't interfere with your natural Thyroid production, of course it does!

Full replacement dose of T3 is 25mcg (what we produce in one day) The theory states that 6.25mcg-12.5mcg will give your thyroid a boost and will not shut it down like 25mcg+ would...

thanks bro. guess i did read those posts different.

um......aren't we all different? i mean a 100lb girl will get better results from 25mcg then a 200lb male.... also if you go low carb t4-t3 conversion doesn't happen so since up to 90% of t3 is from t4 you would have less.

not tryin to get into an arguement with you cause you know way more than me about this stuff. but depending on the person and the diet dosage becomes less or more important

Well you are partially right...lol

It's hard to explain without going back into the biochemistry and medical terms...

Anyway, whether you are a 120lb women or a 200 lb man you produce about 25mcg of T3 a day...but it doesn't mean that your body is using all of it...

Males produce about the same amount of testosterone a week (not a huge difference). But there is a huge difference in the "free" Test levels in males (used for Muscle building)
