Alright.. i currently have 35 40mcg t3's. They are shaped like little maroonish advils and are difficult to break up because they are rounded on the top and the bottom.
40mcg is an odd amount for most t3's, and i want to know what everyone's advice is on how to take them at a low dose to not shut down my own thyriod, but rather add to it. I know people reccomend 12.5mcg for this (breaking in half 25mcg pill) but i was wondering how this would be done with a 40mcg pill.
Now, this is what i thought... correct me if im wrong. Due to t3's long half life, can i take 20MCG (half a pill) every other day? Which would even out to roughly 10mcg/day? Or should i try to break the pills into quarters (very difficult might i add---pills tend to shatter)
Also, what amount of t3 is considered a thyriod replacement doseage rather than boost? I seem to recall 25mcg being what people consider a replacement doseage (shuts thyriod down)... would taking 20mcg EOD shut my thyriod down do you think?
Also, if i were to do this... how long do you think i should run it for? I am currently in the first week or 2 of a cycle... (which i wont bother getting into because i dont really need help with that).. should i run it to the end of the cycle or beyond the end of it?
Unfortunately T3 is one of those things that you will always get a bunch of different opinions on. I’m hoping to find someone that has run it at a low dosage at an extended period of time that can share their experiences.
I also still need to figure out whether ½ a pill EOD is alright, or if I should try to break it into 1/4s and take that ED.
Now, if i were to do a short cycle of it ramped up and then ramped down... how would you think my best way of doing this is? I have right now 34 40mcg pills. Its difficult to use the T3 cycles that other people have used because they usually deal with 25mcg denominations.
Thanks all..
