CYTOVER T3 (Liothyronine Sodium) is not an anabolic steroid, but a thyroid hormone. It is used medicinally to treat cases of thyroid failure, obesity, certain metabolic disorders, and fatigue. Specifically, this drug is a pharmaceutical preparation of the natural thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T-3). When given, CYTOVER T3 (liothyronine sodium) increases the patient's metabolism. The result is an increased rate of cellular activity (as determined by faster utilization of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). Bodybuilders are particularly attracted to this drug for its ability to burn off excess body fat. Most often used during pre-competition training, one can significantly reduce the amount of stored fat without being forced to severely restrict calories. For this purpose, CYTOVER T3 (Liothyronine Sodium) is often 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. It 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 when the steroids are used alone). This is likely due to the faster use of proteins by the body, increasing the rate of new muscle accumulation.

One should be careful when considering using this drug. CYTOVER T3 (Liothyronine Sodium) contains an extensive list of Warnings and Precautions that should not be neglected. Side effects include palpitations, agitation, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, headaches and psychological / metabolic disorders. It is a powerful hormone, and one that could potentially change the normal functioning of the body if abused. When administering CYTOVER T3 (Liothyronine Sodium) one must remember to increase the dosage slowly. Generally, one 25 mg tablet is taken on the first day, and the dosage is increased by one tablet every three out of four days thereafter for a maximum dosage of 100 mg. This will help the body adapt to the elevated thyroid hormone, hopefully avoiding sudden "shock" to the system. The daily dose should also be divided evenly throughout the day in order to keep the blood values ​​more stable. Women are more sensitive to the side effects of CYTOVER T3 (Liothyronine Sodium) than men, and usually choose not to take more than 50mcg daily.
