L-thyroxine sodium T-4

Cytomel is mostly used for fat-loss due to its great increase of metabolism. Thyroid hormones are basically the regulators of the body metabolism. High levels will speed up the metabolism of an individual, allowing him to burn higher amount of calories and also use calories more sufficiently in the body. When beginning with T-4, the dosage should be 50mcg per day (1 tab) and then it can be increased 1 tab daily every few days (cut the dose in half when using cytomel T-3).

Cytomel thus has a special place in the world of bodybuilding since bodybuilders have time periods when then need to stimulate their metabolism in order to speed up conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Bodybuilders are also especially interested in an increased lipolysis, which means increased fat burning, mainly to get the wanted look. In particular, it is used by bodybuilders who compete on contest shows during the weeks before a championship because it helps to maintain an extremely low fat content, without the need to get on a hunger diet, meaning they can keep their gains for which they have worked so hard. If used together with steroids during cycles, users report that those steroids became more effective, most likely due to the faster conversion of protein.
