T3/Cytomel carbolic?

[TorontoTRT]

Have any of you guys using T3/ cytomel noticed any catabolic effects on your muscles? Or lack of progression in muscle building? I know it's supposed to be catabolic, but not sure at what dosage, and not sure exactly how much corresponding testosterone you have to inject to compensate for this. Any ideas?

Never noticed anything like this when I tried t3. Had to stop, it was giving me terrible maxillary tori from bruxism even at low doses.

I presently taking 25 MCG in the morning and 12 MCG in the afternoon. I feel it actually helps me grow more muscle.

When I was on 2.5 grains of NDT, my free T3 came back at 7.3 (2.3-4.2), and I definitely noticed catabolism at this dose, but obviously my free T3 was way too high. When it was that high, it was impossible to gain muscle, and I think I lost a little muscle. It was very noticeable. I also looked very flat.

How much would 10 mcg of cytomel raise t3?

How much would 10 mcg of cytomel raise t3?

I think it depends on individual response. 25mcg of t3 only raised my serum t3 from 2.7 to 2.9

That doesn't seem much. But I bet it lowered your RT3 a lot.

Ya it’s completely dependent on the person. 10mcg could potentially even lower free T3.

What happens is the Cytomel will raise levels, but also cause some suppression of natural levels. So a low dose will either slightly raise overall levels, levels may stay the same, or they might even drop a little
