T3 & me

[overburdened]

Re: T3 & me

T3 is cytomel correct different active ingredient than synthroid.

I have read of people stacking the two for a synergistic effect. I am not an expert but I will stick around for an answer as I am curious about this.

some people do stack the two.. I have tried it, and got HORRIBLY sick! sick, like everything drained from my body sick! you are correct, cytomel is t3, synthroid is t4.. (t3 is generally prescribed to women and t4 to men... no logical reason for this, other than the pdr says that t3 is anabolic(and God forbid a DR prescribe ANYTHING anabolic to a male!!!)...his DR could change his script to the more active t3, but we do not know his exact thyroid condition and cannot comment on that...
one thing that will help a little is taking ECA... it does elevate t4 to t3 conversion....
just shedding a little light on the subject....

in all reality, the safest thing for him to do would be to ask his DR to change his script to cytomel... rather than the 'routine' script of synthroid, just because he is male....

Do you have an ECA you recommend?

Re: T3 & me

Do you have an ECA you recommend?

I'm assuming you are asking me, RockShawn... yes, I get the bronkaid or primatene tablets from local pharmacy(read the back, they should be 12.5mg ephedrine sulfate), vivarin(or the generic 200mg caffeine pill), and 81mg enteric coated aspirin(baby aspirin is 81mg, but the 81mg is easier to find in most drugstores, walmart, etc than the 325mg)

I usually recommend people 'test' their tolerance with half dose...that would be 1 ephedrine(12.5mg), 1/2 vivarin(100mg caffeine), 1 baby aspirin(81mg)...
the 'original' composition was 20/200/150(I'm not 100%sure the aspirin was 150mg, it was always white willow extract in the supps... and it's been a long time since the supps were available)... but the ratio listed above is 'close enough'.... the ephedrine and caffeine are the thermo's, while the aspirin extends the active 'life' of EC... as well as thins blood, so that bp doesn't get too high, and blood doesn't get too thick due to the slight diuretic effect of the caffeine, and to a lesser extent, the ephedrine.... the aspirin is not 'vital' to the compound, but I definitely notice a difference(good diff) when it is included....

you will have to ask for the bronk-aid or primatene tablets at the pharmacy counter(they are listed under the methamphetamine act along with sudafed).. if the pharmacist asks, you have asthma...that's what they are used for. you do not need a script. you can only buy 9 grams of active substance(ephedrine) per month.... but this is usually PLENTY! if you do need more, have a friend go in and get them once you reach your limit... and if you only buy one or two packs at a time, they are more willing to sell them to you... they are supposed to 'attempt to control quantity of sale' on the item.
