Cytomel Uses
Cytomel is a thyroid hormone that speeds up the metabolism causing a faster conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The result is increased fat burning. This drug is usually used as a part of cut (dieting) cycles. Stack of Cytomel and Clenbuterol is probably the best fat burning stack , Cytomel is also very popular with women. Start with one or half a tablet and slowly increase the dose over next few days until you reach the required dose. Liothyronine sodium is to be taken divided throughout the day and the cycles should be kept short ( 4-6 weeks) with an off period of at least 4 - 6 weeks.
Cytomel T3 burns calories
Until recently, Cytomel was used by bodybuilders and female bodybuilders, in particular-on a Cytomel 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.
The over stimulated thyroid burns calories like a blast furnace. Nowadays, instead of this drug, athletes use Clenbuterol which is becoming more and more popular. Those who combine these two compounds will burn an enormous amount of fat. The next time you read that a certain pro bodybuilder approaching a championship competition is still eating 4000 calories a day, you will know why.
Cytomel 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 calorie/day mark can often be avoided. 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 Cytomel in a reasonable dosage is certainly "healthier" than an extreme hunger diet.
Cytomel T3 Dosage
As for the dosage, one should be very careful since Cytomel 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 begin by taking one 25 mcg tablet per day and increasing Cytomel dosage every three to four days by one additional tablet. Its doses higher than 100 mcg/day that are not necessary nor 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 Cytomel not be taken for more than six weeks. At least two months of abstinence needs to follow. Those who take high dosages of Cytomel over a long period of time are at risk of developing a chronic thyroid insufficiency. As a consequence, one might be forced to take thyroid medication for the rest of his life.
It is also important that the dosage is reduced slowly and evenly by taking fewer tablets and not be ended abruptly.
Those who plan to take Cytomel should first consult a physician in order to be sure that no thyroid hyper function exists.
Cytomel T3 Side Effects
Possible Cytomel side effects as described in the package insert: "Exceeding the individual limits of compatibility for liothyronine or taking an overdose, especially, if the dose of Cytomel T3 is increased too quickly at the beginning of the treatment, can cause the following clinical symptoms for a thyroid hyperfunction: heart palpitation, trembling, irregular heartbeat, heart oppression, agitation, shortness of breath, excretion of sugar through the urine, excessive perspiration, diarrhea, weight loss, psychic disorders, etc., as well as symptoms of hypersensitivity." Our experience is that most symptoms consist of trembling of hands, nausea, headaches, high perspiration, and increased heartbeat.
These negative side effects of Cytomel - Liothyronine Sodium can often be eliminated by temporarily reducing the daily dosage . Caution, however is advised when taking Cytomel since, especially in the beginning, the Cytomel effect can be quick and sometimes drastic.
One should take caution if considering using this drug. Cytomel 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 Cytomel, one must remember to increase the dosage slowly. Generally one 25mcg 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 100mcg. 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 Cytomel than men, and usually opt to take no more than 50mcg daily.
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 Cytomel 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 Cytomel 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. Since T-3 is the most powerful thyroid hormone , 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 Cytomel. An in-between point is Synthroid (synthetic T-4) , still weaker in action than Cytomel. Once the user is ready however, the fat burning effect of this hormone can be extremely dramatic.
Cytomel T3 Stacking and Cycle
It can be stacked or alternated with clenbuterol. We usually recommend to alternate, three weeks clenbuterol with three weeks cytomel, since clenbuterol loses most of its benefits after a short period of time and using cytomel for extended time-periods will increase the risk of permanent thyroid failure.
Neither drug is terribly expensive so we see no problem in this. Some opt to use them together for 3-4 weeks, and then use an over the counter ECA stack to bridge with for an equal period of time, but we're not big fans of that. Which naturally doesn't mean its not effective, that's just a personal opinion.
Running it for three weeks, one could choose for a schedule as follows:
25/25/25/50/50/50/75/75/75/100/100/100/75/75/75/50/50/50/25/25/25 mcg/day
If taken for 4 weeks, then run each dose for 4 days, 5 weeks then each dose for 5 days and so on.
It is extremely important that the doses are tapered on and off and that a cycle never exceeds 6 weeks at the most.
