Liothyronine Sodium or T3 is not an anabolic steroid but a thyroid hormone. Liothyronine (T3) is used medically to treat cases of thyroid insufficiency, obesity, certain metabolic disorders and fatigue. When administered, Liothyronine increases the patient's metabolism. The result is an increased rate of cellular activity (noted by a more rapid utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins). Bodybuilders are particularly attracted to Liothyronine for its ability to burn off body excess fat. Most often utilized during contest preparation, one can greatly decrease the amount of stored fat without being forced to severely restrict calories. To this end Liothyronine is commonly used in conjunction with Clenbuterol and can produce extremely dramatic results. This combination has become very popular in recent years, no doubt responsible for many "ripped" on-stage physiques. Liothyronine is also noted by many that when thyroid hormones are taken in conjunction with steroids, an increased anabolic effect can be seen (noticeably greater than if the steroids are used alone). This is likely due to faster utilization of proteins by the body, increasing the rate for new muscle accumulation. A usualy dose for an average person is from 25 to 75 mcg daily.
