A very intelligent bro over on CEM possibly suggested a better alternative.
The thread was about people using HGH but I'm wondering if this would apply to an Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) cycle as well? Someone smarter than I am needs to evaluate this...

T4 is the answer. possibly d/t T3 increasing a lot post cycle?
Nandro produces hypothyroidism, GH too, GH increases T4 to T3 conversion,then there is a T4 deficit (Hypothyroidism).
