Why not a T3 product? NDT was already widely available. It was a good T3 only product that was lacking.

Haidut this is awesome. Do you have body guards to protect you from the marauding hordes of serotonin zombies that the FDA will send your way?
I read somewhere else that your body, after being on thyroid, will lower endogenous production to compensate after a few days of being on it. Would using this only sparingly and not over 3 days work experimentally? In other words can I get some and experiment to my hearts content for 3 days or under and not influence endogenous production?

I don't think Ray recommends taking T3 only. There are a variety of NDT products but they are usually difficult to get.

Ray definitely has recommended taking T3 only depending on circumstances, and maybe in conjunction with a T3-T4 combo. See here.. http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/thyroid.shtml
..."Since T3 has a short half life, it should be taken frequently. If the liver isn't producing a noticeable amount of T3, it is usually helpful to take a few micorgrams per hour. Since it restores respiration and metabolic efficiency very quickly, it isn't usually necessary to take it every hour or two, but until normal temperature and pulse have been achieved and stabilized, sometimes it's necessary to take it four or more times during the day...."
.."An effective way to use supplements is to take a combination T4-T3 dose, e.g., 40 mcg of T4 and 10 mcg of T3 once a day, and to use a few mcg of T3 at other times in the day."

marikay said:post 115382 Can you give a little more information on the smell. Does it linger on the skin if taken topically? Or on the breath if taken orally?
ecstatichamster said:post 115438 Is there any Anaheim of t3 and t4 contained in each batch? How do you verify bioavailability of the raw material?
Ewlevy1 said:post 115443 Just trying to get an understanding of the dose equivalency...if 24 drops equals 3 grains of generic NDT, does this means there are more mcg per 24 drops than generic NDT? Or is it the absorption factor that increases its potency?
cantstoppeating said:Glad that there's now another high quality thyroid supplement.
Why not just avoid the whole strength confusion by saying that 8 drops equals 1 grain, and adjust the serving size to 8 drops and servings per container to 90.
