Description
Athletes and bodybuilders use T3 for its metabolic boosting effects, especially during cutting phases.
- Increases calorie expenditure even at rest
- Enhances fat loss speed
- Often stacked with AAS (like testosterone or clenbuterol) to prevent muscle loss while dieting hard
- Popular in contest prep for achieving a very lean physique
Dosage (athlete use, off-label)
- Typically 25–75 mcg per day, sometimes ramped up gradually
- Cycles usually last 4–8 weeks
⚠️ High doses (>75–100 mcg) can lead to severe thyroid suppression and muscle wasting
Side Effects / Risks
- Muscle loss if not combined with anabolic support
- Heart strain: tachycardia, arrhythmia, palpitations
- Anxiety, sweating, tremors, insomnia
- Suppresses natural thyroid function → requires tapering to avoid rebound hypothyroidism
✅ Summary:
Liothyronine Sodium (T3) is a powerful thyroid hormone used by athletes to accelerate fat loss and enhance metabolic rate. While highly effective, it carries significant risks if abused, including muscle loss and permanent thyroid suppression.
