proper t3 taper&

[jrod]

I would like to get some input on t3 cycle.
How does the below look?

Days 1 & 2 - .125 per day
Days 3 & 4 - .25 per day
Days 4, 5 & 6 - .50 per day
Days 7 - 14 - .75 per day
Days 15, 16 & 17 - .50 per day
Days 18 & 19 - .25 per day
Days 20 & 21 - .125 per day

Thanks

You body produces approx 25mcgs ed so 25mcgs or less doesn't do anything. except perhaps shut down your normal T3 production.

So it wouldn't make any sense to start with anything lower than .50, correct?
Better to start at .50 and slowly work up to 150.
I've read some bad things about people messing up their thyroid by using too much or for too long.

I never went past 100, for years now 50-75 does me very well.

Do you even ramp up at all or do you just start at 50-75 and stay there for a few weeks? Do you split your dosage throughout the day?
Thanks

What I did for the last 8 months was run 50mcgs right through except for 6 weeks when I went up to 75mcgs.

Good advice here, I myself like a 75 mcg dose. Be cautious going over 100 MCg some do mess up. 75MCG for 90-120 days is a standard for myself.

The standard T3 protocol is a 5 week taper up, taper down with a 2 1/2 week or so run at peak dose. Ive used t3 or t4 a ton and used different ways, I think the most conservative way is to use it as a 5 week deal. I've been on as long as 1 year before when combining with GH, I used it at 50mcg a day durring that. I've had my blood work done and my thyroid recovered no issues.


days
1-3 25
4-6 50
7-9 75
10-27 100
28-30 75
31-33 50
34-36 25

I only pyramid in 25mcgs doses. Good protocols listed above.

[alluprbdy]

that is in 25mcg doses, im not sure what you mean..25mcg, 50mcg, 75mcg, 100mcg

I dont find the need to go over 75mcg but I have run it as high as 125mcg/day.
I also never taper down. It doesnt benefit to do so. Over 25mcg your shut down and the sooner you just stop the sooner your thyroid will resume normal function. Tapering down just prolongs the time this takes with no benefit and more of a chance to start going off the deep end undoing the hard work you put in to get to that point. When your used to eating at 75-100mcg of t3 if you dont adjust caloric intake as you lower dosage you will start to undo your results.

Also when you stop for about 2 weeks you have to be super cautious about your diet so you dont again undo all your hard work. The only way I would taper up is if it was my first time and I needed to assess tolerance. I just jump on at usually 50mcg/day, sometimes at 75mcg/day. I like t3 and the thyroid bounces back quickly. People that were taking t3 for years stopped and within weeks their thyroid had resumed full and normal function (greer et al).

Just make sure you are on anabolics to avoid catabolism.
