CONTENT: T3-Max-25, 25mcg (50 pills)
T3-Max-25 (Liothyronine Sodium) from Alpha-Pharma Healthcare. Cytomel is the synthetic form of T-3 / Liothyronine and was a well-known trade or brand name among athletes. T3-Max-25 (Liothyronine Sodium) is used as a form of thyroid hormone therapy. Most bodybuilders favored this drug over synthetic forms of T-4 (levothyroxine) because of its far superior levels of activity.
The abuse of synthetic T3-Max-25 (liothyronine sodium) leads to a strong suppression of the natural (endogenous) thyroid function. This is especially true of this drug because it actually surrounds the normal thyroid hormone manufacturing process the body uses to produce endogenous forms as required. Put simply, this is because T3-Max-25 (Liothyronine Sodium) is the strongest thyroid hormone, so the body turns off any level it needs to produce in an attempt to reduce circulatory Thyro3 levels. Of course, this does not reduce levels when the hormone is given exogenously (from outside the body).
Since long-term use of T3-Max-25 (liothyronine sodium) leads to thyroid function suppression, the problem of rebound should be briefly discussed. It is commonly said that synthetic thyroid hormone abuse will lead to permanent thyroid dysfunction.
Thyroid hormones are naturally synthesized in our body, but because the molecules aren't complex, many pharmaceutical companies make the synthetic variety of the hormones. There are two basic types of thyroid hormones - T4 known as levothyroxine and T3 known as liothyronine. Both are made and stored in the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone from the drug companies is obtained in two ways. Either from animal thyroid (cattle or sheep sources) or made synthetically.
Thyroid hormone is easily absorbed from the stomach into the bloodstream. The onset of action is pretty quick and usually occurs in a few hours. However, the peak activity of the hormone can last for a few days. The thyroid hormone usually remains in the body for a few days after a single administration.
Excess thyroid hormone can cause a wide variety of side effects, including: headache, mood changes - irritability, nervousness, anxiety, sweating, abnormal heart rhythms, palpitations, chest pain, diarrhea, menstrual irregularities, worsening heart failure, shock. Massive overdose can lead to symptoms similar to thyroid storm. Chronically excessive dosing will produce the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
