Yes that is the cycle I am doing with tren hex. I am also taking caber 0.25mg twice a week cause I am prone to prolactin issues from deca/npp and even test sometimes. Yes I take cialus, that is all I am taking no AI or anything. I am not sure why I would take cardarine and t3, I am a powerlifter so what I am doing this for is strength purely, not to get lean (I am already very low bodyfat anyway), and not to really bulk cause I need to stay within my weight class but I do got a buffer to grow into right now.
For me to call it IBS probably makes it sound worse than it is, basically its like I get a sick acidic feeling in my stomach sometimes at night, that is it.
Yea my bad bro. I always assume people research the compounds they are using.
Now that I know your a powerlifter I’ll try to keep it simple.
So a relationship exist between tren, your TRH levels and prolactin. TRH stimulates, by way the hypothalamus, the production or synthesis of TSH by way of pituitary. TSH (thyrotropin) in turn stimulates the production or synthesis of thyroid hormone T4 which converts to T3 (I’m leaving out T1andT2). Also we have a negative feedback loop which exist between T4 and TRH. Meaning if the body has low levels of T4 it stimulates TRH.
It already has been established that in humans TRH is also capable of stimulating the release of prolactin. In hypothyroid patients there is often an elevation of TRH and prolactin due to diminished levels of T4. Galactorrhea often presents as a symptom of hypothyroidism
The following studies are with sheep.
In sheep introduction of TrenA caused a 45% drop in T4 which as explained will cause a negative feed back loop. Which will cause a production ramp up of TRH causing a spike of prolactin. (This didn’t happen in the sheep but that’s because unlike humans, sheep production of prolactin is independent of TRH)
I can personally attest to a lowering of T4 levels and a increase of TRH in my bloodwork although I wouldn’t say 45%. As with all this stuff it’s user and dose dependent. Bloodwork is your crystal ball.
So by deduction, if tren drops T4 levels, supplement so you avoid spikes in prolactin.
If you’re worried about catabolism of T3 which I wouldn’t be if your on Gear while using... take T4.
Side note lack of overall T4/T3 levels cause side effects like hot flashes (think about night sweats) and fatigue and mood swings..... any of these sound familiar bro?!?
Let’s move on the Cardarine. Cardarine has a positive effect on cardio, blood pressure and liver function. Which I won’t go into but I’ll just let you know that all these attribute to the sides of tren.
So I understand you’re a powerlifter, but diet not drugs decide if you loose muscle mass while on gear. Nutrient partitioning will only serve you better for your goals, not worse.
Maybe with proper supplementation you can increase your dose, while lowering those dreaded tren sides.
Or just keep doing it your way with low dose tren and caber....
