blood test on t3 cycle

[badg96]

hi, i started a t3 cycle a few days ago and was wondering how long to wait to do a free t3 blood test? I found out the first cycle of t3 that it was fake through a blood test and I want to make sure that this time it's not fake

Really anything more than like 3 days. Super short half life and fast acting.

Edit: I'll add that if you just want to make sure it's legit or that you aren't overdosing it, you want to get your bloods draw 3-5 hours after a dose. Levels typically peak around 4 hours after taking it. Then they drop off pretty steeply from there. Hence people taking it twice a day

I did the blood test here are the results for 150mcg per day:


free t3 11.64pg/ml reference range 2.3-4.2pg/ml
before starting this cycle these were my values = 3.38 pg/ml
I'm with the t3 almost 4 times what I had before. Do you think he is underdosed? Didn't he owe it with higher values?

How long after your dosing was this taken?

150mcg?!? What?!?

150mcg?!? What?!?

Yeah that’s a ton. I’m on 50mcg rn, 150mcg T4 and probably going to lower my dose. Temp readings of 98.6-99.2, 85-92 BPM RHR, and terrible lethargy and headaches. Feel super weak and zero pumps/vascularity.

Mac do you happen to know how/when to get bloodwork on T3? My FT3 came back a bit low last time on this dosage, however I DID wait 24 hours after my T3 dose to get my bloodwork. Is this abnormal?

I’m no expert on that. I would say a couple hours after administration is as high as levels would be if you’re taking it daily? I think it reaches max effect well under a week.

Mean fT3 levels after a 50mcg dose.

How long after your dosing was this taken?

3 hours

Do you split up your dosage?

How much weight are you trying to cut? Thats a lot

Do you know how to interpret the graph I posted? It would put you at the high level of what was observed with a 50mcg dose at hour 3. Some people were at 7 pg/ml (actually some may have been lower, the bars likely represent a standard deviation). You can't just triple your expectations with triple the dose.

It's definitely legit T3 you're taking, but you could either be a low responder OR it could be underdosed.

Did you check free T4 or TSH?

do you have the same graph for 25 mcg or 37.5? Would appreciate since Im not sure what to run on my tren recomp

No. Do note that inter-individual variation in response to Cytomel is substantial, so these averages are to be taken as such, not precise dose-response.
