armour thryoid and bodyfat

[TatsForTats]

Hope this is the right section. I just started on armour today and had a few questions I was hoping some experienced people would know the answer to. I'm wondering if anybody has noticed a decrease in body fat with out exercising after starting armour? Not sure what to expect of this stuff at all!

I don't know if it's necessarily a fat cutting agent but if your hypothyroidic and supplementing thyroid armour brings your thyroid levels back to normal it could definitely help your body composition.

The thyroid is one of the things affecting your metabolism yes. That's why ppl cut with T3/cytomel. It will affect metabolism but I haven't seen much of the literature on thyroid armour so I can't say for sure that it does the exact same things as T3. By increasing your metabolism it's not selective in what it uses as energy, muscle or fat. If your hypo though and supplementing to normal ranges you're fine but if supplementing with supraphysiological doses than it can be catabolic if not accompanied with AAS.

I am on trt 100mg twice a week with armidex 1mg twice a week plus hcg 500 iu twice a week. My thryoid tested extremely low so I just put on the armour, I would imagine it is just going to get my levels up to normal, but it would be a nice bonus if it went beyond my expectations.

Well the good news is that your doctor put you on a combo med with both T4 and T3 instead of T4 only which is bad for most people. You should be fine on Armor. That added T3 makes a big difference and places less stress on your body by not having it convert all T4 over to the active hormone.
