Cytomel T3 Dosage
The human body naturally endogenously manufactures a T3 dosage of approximately 30mcg per day. Hence, this is why many users who wish to ‘play it safe’ by starting off at a Cytomel T3 dosage of 25mcg per day are actually taking a step backwards in progress rather than moving forwards. Cytomel T3 doses of 25mcg per day are actually less than is normally manufactured by the human body. This attempt at ‘playing it safe’ by utilizing a very small Cytomel T3 dosage at the beginning is the result of the fear that has been propagated by individuals among the performance enhancing drug using community that Cytomel T3 is a very dangerous drug, when in reality it is no more dangerous than most other hormonal drugs, such as anabolic steroids.
What also needs to be addressed in this profile is the concept of a slow titration upwards (a slow ramping upwards) of T3 doses, which has become an extremely popular practice that is for the most part unnecessary. The claims made by individuals among the performance enhancing drug using community concerning the ramping up of the Cytomel T3 dosage is that the thyroid gland is a very sensitive gland that can potentially become permanently shut down if Cytomel T3 doses are raised either too fast, or too high. These claims, once again, are wrong and are not supported by clinical evidence. For over 2 decades, one of the myths that has persisted in regards to T3 has been the myth of permanent thyroid gland damage.
Medical Cytomel T3 Dosage
For the treatment of hypothyroidism, the normal medical Cytomel T3 dosage is that of a starting dose of 25mcg per day. Following this, the patient assesses his or her reactions and tolerance to the drug and adjusts their Cytomel T3 dosage by no more than 25mcg per day. The average maintenance T3 doses lie between 25 – 75mcg per day. Once the patient’s desired optimal dose is achieved, this dose remains steadily administered for the remainder of therapy.
Cytomel T3 Dosage For Fat Loss
In bodybuilding circles Cytomel T3 is mostly used as fat-loss drug. Thyroid hormones are often referred to as the metabolic regulators of the body. High levels of T3 speed up the metabolism of an individual, allowing him to burn more calories and use calories more sufficiently. Generally ectopmorphic body-types have very high thyroid levels and in some cases a slight undiagnosed form of hyperthyroidism. Both hyper-and hypothyroidism can have severe consequences on an individual, such as goiters and other nasty stuff, so messing with your thyroid is not something I would advise to beginners. As with insulin, misuse of this compound can leave you dependent on exogenous T3 for the rest of your life (remember Frank Zane?). So some caution and research is required before putting Cytomel T3 in your body. Generally cycles should be limited to 4-6 weeks tops, I recommend 3 and alternating cycles with 3-week cycles of clenbuterol. But most importantly, to avoid a crash or a shock to the thyroid function doses need to be built up over time and tapered off again. More so for Cytomel T3 than for any other drug in existence.
Bodybuilders and athletes Cytomel T3 Dosage
Bodybuilders and athletes who wish to use Cytomel T3 for its weight loss and fat loss effects normally begins with a Cytomel T3 dosage of 25 – 50mcg per day, and tolerance is assessed. Tolerance relates to the experience of metabolism and fat burning effects, as well as the temperature increase associated with it. Every individual will respond in a different manner and a different intensity to any one given Cytomel T3 dosage, so it must be understood that a T3 dose of 50mcg for one individual might elicit steady fat loss, but that same 50mcg dose might not do very much for another.
Once tolerance is assessed after remaining at a 50mcg dose for a day or two, the individual should then increase their Cytomel T3 dosage by an additional 25mcg every day (or every other day, depending on the individual’s experience) until a peak optimal dose is achieved. The typical peak dose for most male bodybuilders and athletes tends to lie in the range of 75 – 100mcg per day. Some have even ventured as high as 125mcg per day, though this is on the high end and is not normally recommended.
Bodybuilders take advantage of these characteristics and stimulate their metabolism by taking Cytomel T3, which causes a faster conversion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Bodybuilders, of course, are especially interested in an increased lipolysis, which means increased fat burning. Competing bodybuilders, in particular, use Cytomel T3 during the weeks before a championship since Cytomel T3 helps to maintain an extremely low fat content, without necessitating a hunger diet. Athletes who use low dosages of Cytomel T3 report that by the simultaneous intake of steroids, the steroids become mote effective, most likely as the result of the faster conversion of protein. Nowadays, instead of Cytomel T3, athletes use Clenbuterol which is becoming more and more popular.
Those who combine these two compounds will burn an enormous amount of fat. Cytomel T3 is also popular among female bodybuilders. Since women generally have slower metabolisms than men, it is extremely difficult for them to obtain the right form for a competition given today’s standards. A drastic reduction of food and calories below the 1000 caloric/day mark can often be avoided by taking Cytomel T3. Women, no doubt, are more prone to side effects than men but usually get along well with 50 mcg/day. It is also important that Cytomel T3 not be taken for more than six weeks. At least two months of abstinence from the drug needs to follow. Those who take high dosages of Cytomel T3 over a long period of time are at risk of developing a chronic thyroid insufficiency.
Female Cytomel T3 Dosage
For the most part, the female response to the effects of Cytomel T3 is the exact same as the male response. The only major difference in Cytomel T3 dosage for females is that of the difference in body weight and mass. Females tend to be of a lower total size, weight, and body mass than men and therefore may tend to be more sensitive to a given Cytomel T3 dosage.
The peak effective dose for most females should be in the range of approximately 50 – 75mcg per day, with 75mcg being at the uppermost high end.
Expectations and Results from Cytomel (T3) Dosage
Cytomel T3 is a potent stimulator of the body’s metabolism at the cellular level that does not discriminate between the different substrates being utilized for energy (protein, carbohydrates, and fats). Therefore, it is important to understand that the fat loss can sometimes be dramatic, and if T3 is utilized without anabolic steroids beyond a certain dose (approximately more than 50mcg of T3), muscle loss can occur. The greater the Cytomel T3 dosage, the greater and quicker the muscle loss can occur.
It is also important for the reader to know and understand that excessive doses of anabolic steroids are absolutely unnecessary for the preservation of muscle during Cytomel T3 use. A total weekly anabolic steroid use of 300 – 500mg per week (any anabolic steroid) should be more than sufficient for the preservation of muscle and the retention of nitrogen during the use of higher Cytomel T3 doses.
Stronger anabolic steroids such as Trenbolone or Winstrol will stave off muscle loss from Cytomel T3 at only 200mg per week. The use of excessive anabolic steroid doses merely for the purpose of muscle preservation during T3 use is completely unnecessary.
