Add8ng T3/T4 to GH

[parttimer]

I had read some material in the past that says if you're taking GH and not adding T3/T4 in with it, you're not getting the full effect. Only thing is, I can't find any dosage information when it comes to adding them. Does anyone recall the article and know of any starting dose?

This may or may not be helpful but my understanding is taking growth hormone will convert t4 into more t3 and can make your t4 levels drop and your t3 levels too high.

Too much t3 can cause hyperthyroidism and then of course can affect your heart and possibly put you into AFib so my understanding is you have to be careful of how much you're taking and purposefully monitor your t3 and t4 levels if you're supplementing under any conditions.

Agree. I would before adding anything to the GH in the way of thyroid is get a baseline TSH, T3, T4 and fT3. Then add the GH and give it a little time and recheck. Then you know how you are responding. Too much T3 is catabolic to muscle and their are the heart issues esp a-fib. IMO, if you want to augment the fat loss component, add in some RETA, not thyroid. but I'd still check the labs pre and during so you know what's going on.
