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.
