As I read I see that some use pills that are dosed at 25mcg and others use lion's T3 which one squirt is approx 20mcg. Now I've read that a good starting low dose is 12.5 which is easy to take half a tab. But how much difference is there in starting at 20mcg if taking lions T3. I also couldn't really find anything about running a low dose constant. Everything is ramping up and down. And do you need to ramp down off 20mcg or is that a low amount to just go from say day to day to eod and so on as a ramping down.

I see absolutely no reason to start as low as 12.5mcg. That dose should be used for tapering when coming off, not going on. Start no lower than 20-50mcg.
As for running it, 20mcg is about what the body naturally produces, maybe a bit less. Running it at a low dose, IMO, really doesn't make any sense. It isn't effective at fat loss at any dose lower than 50mcg and you don't want to run it any more than about 6 weeks total. So, if you ran it at 50mcg, that's pretty low, for 6 weeks, you're not going to accomplish a whole lot.

I see, that's what I wasn't able to find. There wasn't anything really about running a low dose. Didn't know if it just wasn't common, or because it was a waste. All these people trying to suddnely loose fat for the summer making post got me reading on it, thanks.

The 12.5 mcg thing isn't necessarily a waste.
What is wrong with running 12.5 mcg while your running GH to help support your thyroid?
As far as the 12.5 mcg dosage though, using it to supplement while running GH is the one of the only times I've heard it being run at that low of a dose. Other times I've seen people run it at 12.5mcg to help with protein synthesis. Never looked into it enough to see how much it would actually help with that though.

We have two different purposes here....The 12.5 is a dose you would run with a GH cycle and it wouldn't have any use in a typical t3 cycle ....
Ive see this getting confused the past few days ...Alot of people will run 25mgs in their GH cycle but to tell you the truth Ive run them both and done my GH without any t3 and I personally cant tell the difference ....
I run 12.5 because the research Ive done tells me my GH will suppress my thyroid but I'm not convinced of it so I just run 12.5 to be cause as least interference with my thyroid as possible ...
a typical t3 cycle would start out with 25mcg and go up to 100mcg pyramiding up and down ...

Ok, so as far as using T3 withought GH it is as important to ramp up as it is to ramp down? I see most are getting Lions recently, and the lowest dose you can get is 20mcgs. I guess you could put the one spray in something and break it up that way. When ramping down and your at 20mcg for like 5 days, would you go to 20mcg eod, e3d etc. ?

Thats OK shibby I see what your looking for now, and yes you could break the squirt down but you'll have no problems ramping up or down starting and ending with 20mcg ....That a low enough dose .....Originally posted by Shibby
