T3
General information:
Manufacturer: Partax Labs
Substance: liothyronine -
Pack: 100 tabs (50 mcg/tab)
T3 is an post cycle steroid, this drug is also known as Cytomel and is made by Partax Labs.
T3 is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid but a thyroid
hormone. As a substance it contains synthetically manufactured
liothyronine sodium which resembles the natural thyroid hormone
tricodide-thyronine. The thyroid of a healthy person usually produces
two hormones, the better known L-thyroxine and the aforementioned
L-triiodine-thyronine. Since T3 is the synthetic equivalent of the
latter hormone, it causes the same processes in the body as if the
thyroid were to produce more of the hormone. It is interesting to note
that L-T3 is clearly the stronger and more effective of these two
hormones. This makes T3 more effective than the commercially available
L-T4 compounds such as L-thyroxine or Synthroid.
Bodybuilders take advantage of these characteristics and stimulate their
metabolism by taking 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 T3 during the
weeks before a championship since it helps to maintain an extremely low
fat content, without necessitating a hunger diet. Athletes who use low
dosages of T3 report that by the simultaneous intake of steroids, the
steroids become more effective, most likely as the result of the faster
conversion of protein.
HOW DOES IT WORKS?
It is important to stress that a cycle should last no longer than 6
weeks and it should never be halted abruptly. As slowly as the dosage
was built up it should also be lowered, one tablet every 3-4 days.
Taking T3 for too long and/or at too high a dosage can result in a
permanent thyroid deficiency. After doing such, one might need to be
treated with a drug like T3 for life. It is also a good
idea to first consult your physician and have your thyroid function
tested. An undiagnosed hyperfunction would not mix well with the added
hormone. An athlete should also be sure never to purchase an injectable
form of the drug. It is generally an emergency room product, much too
powerful for athletic use. Since T3 is the most powerful thyroid hormone
athletes are using, this is generally not the starting point for a
beginner. Before using such a powerful item, it is a good idea to become
familiar with a weaker substance. The highly popular Triacana is very
mild, allowing the user much more latitude (from severe side effects)
than T3. An in-between point is Synthroid (synthetic T-4), still weaker
in action than T3. Once the user is ready however, the fat burning
effect of this hormone can be extremely dramatic.
Until recently, T3 was used by bodybuilders and female bodybuilders, in
particular on a daily basis over several months to remain "hard" and in
good shape all year round. Believe us when we tell you that to a great
extent several bodybuilders who are pictured in "muscle magazines" and
display a hard and defined look in photos, eat fast food and iron this
out by taking T3. The over stimulated thyroid burns calories like a
blast furnace. Nowadays, instead of T3, athletes use Clenbuterol which
is becoming more and more popular. Those who combine these two compounds
will burn an enormous amount of fat.
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 todays standards. A
drastic reduction of food and calories below the 1000 calorie/day mark
can often be avoided by taking T3. Women, no doubt, are more prone to
side effects than men but usually get along well with 50 mcg/day. A
short-term intake of T3 in a reasonable dosage is certainly "healthier"
than an extreme hunger diet.
As for the dosage, one should be very careful since T3 is a very strong
and highly effective thyroid hormone. It is extremely important that one
begins with a low dosage, increasing it slowly and evenly over the
course of several days. Most athletes begin by taking one 25 mcg tablet
per day and increasing this dosage every three to four days by one
additional tablet. A dose higher than 100 mcg/day is not necessary and
not advisable. It is not recommended that the daily dose be taken all at
once but broken down into three smaller individual doses so that they
become more effective. It is also important that T3 not
be taken for more than six weeks. At least two months of abstinence
from the drug needs to follow. It is also important that the dosage is
reduced slowly and evenly by taking fewer tablets and not be ended
abruptly.
SIDE EFFECTS:
One should take caution if considering using this drug. T3 comes with an
extensive list of warnings and precautions which are not to be ignored.
Side effects include, but are not limited to, heart palpitations,
agitation, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea,
headaches, and psychic/metabolic disorders. It is a powerful hormone,
and one that could potentially alter the normal functioning of the body
if misused. When administering T3, one must remember to
increase the dosage slowly. Generally one 25 mcg tablet is taken on the
first day, and the dosage is thereafter increased by one tablet every
three of four days for a maximum dosage of 100 mcg. This will help the
body adjust to the increased thyroid hormone, hopefully avoiding any
sudden "shock" to the system. The daily dose is also to be split evenly
throughout the day, in an effort to keep blood levels steadier. Women
are more sensitive to the side effects of T3 than men, and usually opt
to take no more than 50 mcg daily.
