I'm taking T3 low dose
« on: July 31, 2009, 08:14:40 AM »
I'm planing taking 12,5mcg T3 for 3 months, have a month break and then repeat this over and over, maybe for life.

Do you think there is a risk doing it like this? I don't want to destroy my natural production.

The reason I want to stay on long, is because I have to take another medicine that makes me gain fat (I know, it's a bodybuilder worst nightmare, but nothing I can do about it). T3 at 12,5mcg, pretty much cancels the fat gain of the other medicine, I can even lose some fat.

people stay on T3 for very long periods of time, as for you not wanting to shut your system down. you will once you start to take he T3 so i would say go ahead and take 25mcg and that is considered a low dose

as far as modern medicine knows, there is no risk at all of any permanent effect to your thyroid.

If you can take 100mcg T3 for 8 weeks, then surely you can take 12,5mcg for a longer time. It's almost a tenth of that dose ...

Found this :

Yo Dave! I have 2 questions:

1. How long would you recommend a male stay on T3?
2. How long should they stay off T3 before getting back on again?

Dave Palumbo: 1. No more than 20 weeks total and that should include a few weeks to taper down.
2. Stay off for at least 8 weeks to allow your thyroid to get back to its normal function.

and ...

DAVE-What is the longest someone can safely run 50 mcg of T3?
DP: 20 weeks is a safe duration.

This is very consistant with what Milos says about using T3.

Do Dave and Milos have medical backgrounds? I know they "claim" to have them but they are self proclaimed drug gurus who know what they are talking about but have zero proof in a medical application.

Cycling T3 in the way mentioned with such a low dose is not going to harm you.

I would not take it for life unless you needed it for an existing condition, but taking 25-50mcg for a few months every time you go on cycle or cut fat has ZERO health issues in a normal human. With every drug there can be complications, i know people who died from eating peanuts and a friend of mines daughter died from a bee sting. Shit my grandfather tripped and fell down the stairs and choked to death on his own tongue. Shit happens.

Medical journals show Thyroid recovery 100% back to normal in "healthy" adults within weeks of coming off the drug.

My mother has been on Thyroid meds for over 10 years and is perfectly healthy in every way, but she says a thyroid disorder that allows her to take it and if i told you the dose she has taken for 10 years you guys would shit a brick.

People also claim taking high doses of test will shut you down for life, but my panels say otherwise.

The biggest problem i can see with T3 is using underground shit that is overdosed and that can cause some issues.

Just what he told me on the phone one day when I asked.  He feels that tapering up and back down is extremely important.  On the way up you should increase 12.5-25mcg every 5-7 days.  On the way down, extend it to 7-10 days.

With the low dose Im taking there is no need for tapering ... but that's good to know though ... if I want to take a little more...

I believe this is a smart idea with T3.

I always tell people to start at 25mcg and then go up 25mcg every week until 100mcg. Then taper down in the same fashion whenever they want to come off.

That's basically what he said.  He just advocates making the taper down a little slower.

Now I have increased the dose to 25mcg. I took 12,5mcg for 3 weeks, so 9 weeks more on 25mcg, and then I think I'll take 6 weeks off.

By the way, I will soon start shooting some testo enanthate, 250mg every other week just to get my metabolism up even further. And maybe gain a little muscle too.

I don't care much for T3.

I don't have to offset a fat-gaining drug (whatever that may be) either.


T3 increases  my metabolism more than I can keep up with, so it's easy for me to lose size and flatten out. I've had some other "not-so-fun" side effects also.


If I were running GH, I might add it along with Test and EQ, but I don't have that kind of $$$$ or incentive these days.
