How catabolic is T3 when taken by itself?

how long can you run T3 w/o risking permanent thyroid damage?

-I have read so many difft articles, some saying that 21 days is the max you can run it, others stating a couple months is OK, and I also found one that said it is ok to run for up to 9 months!!

I was always under the impression that 4 weeks was plenty

These are just my opinions,

For me...T3 is very catabolic. I would not go near it at all without some type of anabolic. It does not care what tissue it burns, and will easily burn muscle as well as fat.

As for length of cycle, I personally would not go over a month. And as far as permanant shutdown of your own thyroid, I have never seen any actual scientific data that suggests this. Most studies I have read show that the Thyroid gland is pretty resilient, and will eventually return to normal.

I usually do 6 weeks with T3.I start at 25mcg a day the every 3 or 4 days increase it by the same amount up to 100mcg a day thenstay there for 2 or 3 weeks then cycle down again.Stacke with clen on a 2 week on,2 week off cycle it makes for a good cutter.I do test prop with it at around 100 to `150mg EOD.

I personally have never used T3 unless I was running GH, and according to some of the latest research T4 is infinitely better when using hGH. As for running T3 all by it self, I don't see much point in it. Also, you have to be careful while using any thyroid hormone, especially T3, since it can shut down natural production in as little as 8 weeks (depending on what dose you’re taking).

Good Luck!

I'd run Clen, DNP, EAC, or maybe try high dose Guggul extract (it works similar to T3/T4 in higer amounts without any shut down).

Good Luck Bro!
