Cytomel T3 Cycle
Being that T3 is a fat burning agent, Cytomel cycles are very straightforward and relatively simple. As previously mentioned, the practice of slowly titrating T3 doses upwards (ramping up the dose) is really only necessary when attempting to utilize T3 for the very first time so as to assess tolerance to the compound, side effects, possible muscle loss, and body heat output increases as a result of the increased metabolic rate. By the same admission, it is unnecessary at any point to slowly titrate T3 doses downwards (ramping down the dose) after a T3 cycle. Following the conclusion of a Cytomel cycle, it is best to immediately halt all administration of the drug. This is because the thyroid gland is a component of the endocrine system, it is a proper endocrine gland, and should be treated as such. If doses of thyroid hormone are still being administered even though they are being slowly titrated downwards, the thyroid gland will have no reason to resume healthy operation so long as it detects exogenous thyroid hormone being administered. It is therefore best to completely eliminate administration all at once at the conclusion of a Cytomel cycle, and this way the drug will clear quickly from the body, which will result in a faster restoration of thyroid gland function.
Other fat burning agents are included into Cytomel cycles, such as beta-agonsists (such as Clenbuterol and Albuterol), Ephedrine, Human Growth Hormone (HGH), as well as even other thyroid hormones (such as T4). The use of anabolic steroids as an addition to a Cytomel cycle is very common among the athletic and bodybuilding world, as T3 can and does cause the loss of muscle through its immense metabolic boosting effects as previously described in this profile. T3 cycles often include anabolic steroids only when T3 doses rise above a certain range (typically above 50mcg for most individuals). After this point, muscle loss and catabolism can become an issue for the athlete or bodybuilder, at which point the inclusion of anabolic steroids might be necessary to prevent the loss of muscle, which can be very detrimental for an athlete or bodybuilder.
