      I am on week 2 of hgh at 2iu daily and I am currently taking 1gr of NP thyroid. Is this the same as taking T4 and would the 60MG daily dose be enough to reap the benefits of the HGH or should I go higher or even something different all together.

      No one should be supplementing with T4 unless they know for sure they need it. Do bloodwork and you'll know if you need to add 50-100mcg to your daily routine due to suppression from gh.

      This is kind of an old thread and a lot of vets are saying gh and t4 isn’t necessary.

      Anyone thats used gh long enough would even tell you t4 is absolutely not necessary to run with GH.

      This thread should be unstickied outdated knowledge just like the SAD diet.

      Ive been on hgh 2ius a day for a few months feeling perfectly fine. I decided to add 50mcg of liquid t4 in just to be safe as i recently started seeing these types of threads and info. But im an idiot and didnt get blood work done now as im typing ( after my second nap today) this i realize ive probably induced mild hyperthyroidism since all symptoms relate to what im feeling. Luckily i did bloodwork today so im discontinuing t4 until results come back. Im not saying using t4 is unnecessary. It might help some people doing higher doses. But at 2ius i myself definitely dont need it. Ill post my thyroid levels when i get them in case anyones curious.

      The notion of adding T4 to GH was introduced to the BB community by Bill Llewellyn. This idea in not only counter productive but actually harmful in most cases.

      GH simply enhance the conversion of T4 to T3 (this is one of the main paths by which GH increases the metabolism), more T3 in the serum (which is the active form of T4) signals the thyroid to produce less TSH through a normal negative feedback (the body thrives to balance the metabolism so if it senses higher T3 levels this means that the metabolism is raised, so the pituitary gland secrets less TSH to balance this, and less TSH means less T4), this is all normal and healthy.

      Adding exogenous T4 will do 2 things which are unwanted -

      1. It'll increase further more the metabolism which is already higher under GH usage, this may lead to a catabolic effect

      2. It'll suppress the thyroid gland and may lead to hypothyroidism

      What is advised is like mentioned already to keep the thyroid function in check (as there is a higher tendency under GH usage to develop hypothyroidism), and only of the thyroid functioning is diagnosed as harmed there is a need to add exogenous T4

      We're offering pharma grade GH, we encourage our customers to make blood tests to asses the clinical effects of the GH, and will offer credit to any member who posts serum test

      This is the study that highlights the increase in T4 to T3 conversion after HGH administration: Error - Cookies Turned Off


      The effect was pretty amazing. It brought Free T3 levels from the bottom of the range (around 2 pg/mL range) to the very top of the range (in the 4 pg/mL range). The study postulates that some of the positive effects of GH may be mediated through the increase in T3 levels. It can explain some of the positive effects on metabolism and skin health. The other positive health benefits are likely attributibal to IGF-1 AND the HGH itself independent of IGF-1 increases. (From other studies)


      The participants were put in groups of 1, 2, and 4 IU of HGH. Most of them were already on Levothyroxine (T4) for hypothyroidism at an average dose 100-200 mcg daily. Very interesting data in here.


      Here's the study unlocked if anyone wants to read up:
