So up guys, Derek, more plates, more dates.com.

Today I want to do a quick video on how many micrograms of T3 and T4 you naturally produce

because something I often see in the bodybuilding community is the idea that 25 micrograms

is not even a replacement dose for your natural production.

And you need significantly more than that to induce fat loss benefits and all this thyroid production is much like testosterone in that there is a reference range.

So when you look at testosterone, the reference range is general, which I'm sure you're aware of.

You could have a reference range from down as low as 250 nanograms per deciliter upwards of, you know, 950. And some

labs even go as high as, you know, 1100, which is kind of crazy in my opinion. But as far as

the range for T3, it's about 10 to 22 micrograms.

So if you take 25, it's like the equivalent of these guys who take, you know, like 250 milligrams

of test E for their TRT and they're in essentially on a mini cycle year round, but then claim

they're on TRT because their levels are 1,400 nanograms and somehow

their anti-aging doctor has a reference range that goes up to 1400 or something.

So just keep in mind when you are looking at these hormones in general.

Oh, and as far as the T4 range, average normal secretion is around 94 to 110 microgram,

supposedly. When it comes to T3 and T4, I don't think it's something that really needs to be

pushed in a fat loss stage. Like, sure, it helps to to a decent extent but thyroid is so catabolic

even the in the presence of exogenous androgens if you're taking you know it's so it's common

for guys to be upwards of 75 to 100 micrograms of t3 and you'll often hear a lot of the top

pros talk about how how dumb that actually is and how they just

notice they get flat and loose tissue on that much like i i noticed anytime i went over over 50

micrograms regardless of what i was running at the time when i was you know super into bodybuilding
