Effect of T3 supplementation on testosterone.

Just curious if anyone has any knowledge about the effects of t3 supplementation on testosterone I’m able to find virtually nothing on the topic anywhere, planning on trying out Georgi’s t3 product. Curious if anyone got a hormone panel before and after starting t3.

T3 may increase effects of LH and FSH. Maybe even lowering the levels of these hormones, but increasing their effects.

Therefore increasing production of testosterone.

Hypothyroidism and thyrotoxicosis produce adverse effects in male reproduction by unknown mechanisms. We investigated whether triiodothyronine (T3) modulates luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis/secretion, by inducing different thyroid states. In hypothyroidism, the content of Lhb and Fshb mRNAs was increased, while their association to ribosomes and the protein content were reduced and the serum LH and FSH concentrations were augmented and decreased, respectively. Thyrotoxicosis reduced Lhb mRNA and LH serum concentration, and increased Lhb mRNA translational rate. The Fshb mRNA content and its association to ribosomes were also increased, whereas FSH serum concentrations were comparable to euthyroid levels. Acute T3 treatment decreased the total content of Lhb and Fshb mRNAs, and increased their association to ribosomes, as well as the LHB and FSHB contents in secretory granules. This study shows that T3 acts on gonadotrophs, resulting in direct effects on LH and FSH synthesis/secretion of male rats, suggesting that some reproductive disorders observed in men may be associated with thyroid hormone imbalances.

Small amounts of T3 have been shown to increase levels of SHBG.

@RawGoatMilk88 Ive gotten a hormone panel before and after T3 Its unfair to give all the credit to T3 though becauae i also went from vegan to peat-inspired eating around the same time. But my testosterone increased from around 300 to 800 ng/dl

@Ecstatic_Hamster

I am aware that keto style diets result in high SHBG, perhaps the mechanism there is t3 helps increase the efficiency of use of carbohydrate that if one isn’t consciously increasing carb intake while on t3, it may lead to a deselected state?

@Serotoninskeptic

Nice result, I had a similar experience switching from a vegan diet, from 475ng/dl to right around 800.

@RawGoatMilk88 Nice, seems to be the story with a lot of people regarding vegan diets
