Almost 2 weeks on T3, here's what I noticed so far.

@rt It's my understanding from Studying Ray's talks-progesterone and thyroid can reboot the thyroid production. Probably dependent on how bad things are with your thyroid

@Jenna yeah that makes sense

@Jenna I'm glad to hear that. My hair was fizzy, unmanageable and shedding. There were also some patches where the hair was thinner perhaps from shedding, I'm not sure if they're growing back now but I can tell it's darker now. It was one of the clear symptoms that actually got me considering thyroid supplementation.

@bolditinerary how many times a day 6.25 mcg?

@Razvan once, taken with breakfast.

T3 was a game changer for me.
I got similar results from a similar amount.

What I also noticed it that the amount of calories I can consume increased by about 30%, which is nice, because before taking T3 I really had to watch out for what to eat.

Almost everything got at least a little better. Liver function is a big one, less gut /endotoxin symptoms, too.
I feel more energetic, stress tolerant and positive.

A little T3 can go a long way. Thats why Ray was often saying: "the right dosage of thyroid can do xyz..." I really feel like this is key, because when I take too much I get depressed and bloated. For some reason I cant really increase my dose, but I am very happy with what I got so far.

The most prominent and fastest symptom of hypothyroidism to show up is water retention.
I get that when messing up the dosage or forgetting something to take it.

I have to watch out to take in enough b vitamins when taking T3.

@Mauritio what do you notice if not enough B vitamins? What Bs do you take, or do you rely on food for them?

Mostly skin issues. Biotin, B6 and B2 are the most important. I used to supplement for a while,actually in quite high doses, but I always got the dosage wrong and ended up getting a deficiency in another b vitamin or other side effects. So I dropped all the b's except for B6.

T-3

I have run numerous self-experiments with pharmaceutical dosing of isolated b-vitamins with some useful results (B1, B3 niacinamide), B2 to learn more about my own methylation status and histamine levels, and B6 for dopamine and blood-sugar regulation (type-1 diabetic here) -- and biotin more recently. Although some of the results were desirable and I wouldn't rule out doing isolated b-vits again, I wound up dropping most b-vit supplementation and, I think, feeling healthier and more stable as a result. I wouldn't discourage experimenting with daily gram doses of B1 or B3 (maybe for a week or so), but my own experience with this affirms what Mauritio said above. Thus, over the last two years, I think I’ve finally been persuaded that Ray’s minimalist approaching to b-vit supplementation (defaulting to zero in most cases and using very modest/conservative b-vitamin dosing, e.g. 5mg B6 or 50mg B1 or 10-15mg of B2 for very specific goals/needs) works best for me.

Wow exact same here. It’s truly incredible. I just started T3 a few days ago and noticed this immediately. I used to be so stiff and rigid in public because I couldn’t help but feeel everyone was mad at me or annoyed at me and was watching me.

killchaos

been trying T3 since february as well. its definitely made me a lot mentally sharper and "on the ball" in conversations. i have a WAY easier time coming up with jokes off the cuff. at least socially its been a huge boon to me.

i would very much like the vibrant colors and memory recollection OP was experiencing, though. been struggling with pretty bad anhedonia and lack of creativity the past year or two.

and oddly, it also cleared up my acne when i first started taking it, but it has since come back and im dealing with pretty bad scalp itching now as well.

@bubble what doses have you started on? I’ve started a few days ago and feel not difference. No temp rise or pulse increase.

bubble

@Shar_to_the_dae just 1-2 drops of tyronene 8-16mcg in water and sip it throughout day
