Cytomel
®
Description:
Cytomel
is
not
an
anabolic/androgenic steroid
but a thyroid hor?mone.
As
a
substance
it
contains synthetically manufactured
liothyronine sodium
which resembles the
natural
thyroid hormone tricodide-thyronine
(L-T3). The
thyroid of a
healthy person usually
produces
two
hormones,
the
better known L-thyroxine (L-T4) and the aforementioned L-trilodine~thyronine
(L-T3).
Since
Cytomel
is the synthetic equivalent of
the
latter hormone, it causes
the same
processes in the body
as
if the thyroid were to produce more of the hormone. It is
interesting
to note that
L-T3 is
clearly
the stronger and more effective of
these
two hormones.
This
makes Cytomel
more
effective than the commercially
available L-T4 compounds such as L-thyroxine
or Synthroid. The
manufacturer
of the German L-T3 compound, Hoechst AG, ascribes the following
characteristics to
its
Thybon
drug, making
it
clear that L-T3 is superior
to L-T4: "The synthetically manufactured thyroid hormone, L-trilodine-thyronine (L-T3), included in Thybon, in experimental and clinical testing has proven to be 4-5 times more biologically active and to take effect more quickly than L-thyroxine (L-T4)."
In school medicine Cytomel is used to
treat thyroid insufficiency (hypothyroidism). Among other
secondary
symptoms are
obesity,
metabolic disorders, and
fatigue. Bodybuilders
take
advantage
of these charcteristics
and
stimulate their metabolism by taking Cytomel, which causes a faster conver?sion
of carbohydrates,
proteins,
and fats. Bodybuilders, of course,
are
especially interested in an increased
lipolysis,
which means in?creased fat burning. Competing bodybuilders, in particular,
use
Cytomel during
the
weeks before
a championship since
it
helps to
maintain an extremely low
fat
content, without
necessitating a hunger diet. Athletes who use low dosages of
Cytomel
report that
by the simultaneous intake
of steroids,
the steroids
become
more effective, most likely as
the
result
of the faster conversion of protein.
Until recently,
Cytomel was
used
by
bodybuilders and female bodybuilders, in particular-on a daily
basis over several
months to
remain
"hard"
and
in
good shape all year round.
Believe
us when
we tell you that
to a
great
extent several bodybuilders who
are pictured in "muscle magazines" and display a hard and de?fined look
in
photos,
eat fast food and
iron
this out by
taking
Cytomel. The
over
stimulated
thyroid burns calories
like
a
blast furnace. Nowadays, instead of
Cytomel, athletes use Clenbuterol which is
becoming more and more popular.
Those who combine these
two compounds
will
burn
an enormous
amount
of
fat. The next
time you
read
that a certain pro
bodybuilder approach?ing a championship
competition is still
eating
4000
calories a day, you will know
why. Cytomel is also popular
among
female
bodybuilders. Since women generally
have slower metabolisms than men, it
is extremely difficult for
them to
obtain the right
form for a
competition
given today's standards. A drastic reduc?tion
of
food
and
calories below the 1000
calorie/day
mark can
often be avoided by taking Cytomel. Women, no doubt, are more prone
to
side
effects
than men but usually get along well with 50 mcg/day.
A
short-term
intake
of Cytomel
in
a
reasonable dosage
is certainly "healthier" than
an
extreme hunger diet.
As
for
the
dosage, one should be very careful since Cytomel is a very strong and highly effective
thyroid
hormone. It is extremely
impor?tant that
one begins with a
low
dosage, increasing
it
slowly
and evenly over the course
of several days.
Most
athletes begin by tak?ing one 25
mcg tablet
per day and
increasing
this
dosage
every three to four days
by
one
additional tablet.
A
dose higher than 100 mcg/ day is not necessary
and
not
advisable.
It is not recommended that the
daily dose be taken all at
once
but
broken
down into three smaller individual doses so
that
they become more effective. It is also impor?tant that Cytomel
not be taken for more than
six
weeks. At least
two
months
of abstinence from
the
drug needs to follow.
Those who
take
high dosages of Cytomel over a long
period of
time are
at
risk of developing a chronic
thyroid insufficiency.
As a consequence,
the
athlete
might be forced to take thyroid medication
for
the
rest of his
life. It
is also important
that
the dosage is reduced slowly
and evenly
by taking fewer tablets and
not be
ended abruptly. Those
who
plan to take Cytomel should
first
consult a
physician
in
order to be sure that no thyroid hyper function exists.
Possible
side effects
such as
medication are described in the
package insert by
the
German pharmaceutical group Hoechst AG for their
compound
Thybon:
"Exceeding the individual limits of compatibil?ity for liothyronine or taking an overdose, especially, if the dose is increased too quickly at the beginning of the treatment, can cause the following clinical symptoms for a thyroid hyperfunction): heart palpitation, trembling, irregular heartbeat, heart oppression, agita?tion, shortness of breath, excretion of sugar through the urine, ex?cessive perspiration, diarrhea, weight loss, psychic disorders, etc., as well as symptoms of hypersensitivity."
Our experience is that
most symptoms
consist of
trembling
of hands, nausea, headaches,
high
perspiration, and
increased heartbeat. These negative side
effects can often
be eliminated
by temporarily reducing the
daily dosage. Cau?tion, however
is advised when taking Cytomel
since,
especially in the
beginning,
the
effect
can be
quick
and
sometimes drastic. Ath?letes do not use
the
injectable version
of L-T3,
this is normally
used as "emergency therapy for thyrotoxic coma."
Those
who use Cytomel
over
several weeks will experience a decrease in muscle mass. This can
be
avoided or delayed
by
simultaneously
taking
steroids.
For the
most part,
since
Cytomel also
metabolizes protein, the
athlete
must eat a diet rich in
protein.
