Nobody wants to zero his or her ft4 lol. I think using combination therapy (t4+t3) is the future of hypothyroidism treatment and in a few years, mainstream medicine will recognize it’s better outcomes
-
I know. I just wonder that bodybuilders often use t4+t3 together, despite the standard of care hypothyroidism management is t4 only regarding to the American and European thyroid associations.
-
yes we didnt implement changes in the thyroid meds
Ty. I notice a trend towards using t3 to grow in pro bodybuilding recently. I’ve read some articles of Taeian Clark where he states some studies about androgen receptor upregulation from t3, quiet interesting imo.

Dawid did you continue to use 1tab novothyral+ 50mcg t4 for this whole offseason? Just interested. You look great atm
-
Very interesting, I’ve always ran 25mcg year round for years but reconsidering now cause I think it eventually made me gain less than without
-
hey Hilly, didnt you state that you always use 25mcg t3 along with your 100mcg t4 or are your just using 100mcg t4 standalone right now? just curious
-
Blood work is really good tbh, wouldn’t change a thing. What else are you using atm
-
How much t4 are you taking atm
-
Regarding to thyroid I’d check bloods again in a few weeks, if t4+t4 are still low, I’d use replacement, likely 100t4+ the amount of t3 that brings you to High-Normal levels, likely between 15-35mcg. You look great btw, what was your cycle before show?
-
Did you try the 175t4/ 10 t3? Did it make any difference for you?
-
dont know your caloric requirements, body height etc mate, so its hard to judge. With that cycle before, cals seem a bit low to me though
-
I don’t track macros atm cause I’m not focused on bb atm, just cruising on 175 test e and training for fun. In general, if you’re prone to hypothyroidism, you should always have sufficient carbs to aid t4 -> t3 conversion. How much that is, depends on your personal caloric needs. If you ain’t getting enough carbs, you might start feeling cold/constipated etc. So if you’re trying to cut, i recommend a high protein/moderate carb/ low fat approach. Just my experience
-
Possible, but there’s only one way to find out unfortunately, that’s trial and error. I’d do the 175t4/ 10t3 and see.
-
I don’t think so, never heard of that before
-
Tell me how it’s going after a few weeks I’m interested for myself ?
