Allegedly 'Harmless' Thyroid-Based Fat Burner 3,5-T2 Works Like a Charm, While Commonly Sold 3,3-T2 Could Mess W/ Your Blood Glucose Levels, Liver & Body Fat + Muscle

Image
These are the kind of abs, you will see on products with T2 and/or T2 and other alleged fat-burners. Don't be fooled by the ads - even if it's the actually active form of diiodothyronine (T2), namely 3,5-T2, you're buying, the pills alone won't get you to the sub-10% body fat range you  may be dreaming of. I've written about the thyroid hormone metabolite  diiodothyronine aka T2 before. Accordingly, you will probably know that it has long been thought of as an inactive byproduct of the thyroid hormone metabolism ( read previous T2-articles ). You will also be aware of the fact that research shows that (a) this is not the case and that (b) only one of its two forms, namely 3,5-diiodothyronine (3,5-T2) shares the fat burning, metabolic effects of its big brother triiodothyronine aka T3. Just like me, you probably don't know, however, why supplement companies are still stupid enough to use both 3,5- and 3,3-diiodothyronine in their allegedly fat burning suppl...

High Dose 3,5-Diiodo-L-Thyronine (T2) Has Similar Side Effects as Regular Thyroid Hormones: Natural Thyroid Hormone Production ↓, Myocardial Stress ↑, Heart Weight ↑

Image
No, the rodents had "only" enlarged hearts, but hairloss is a common side effect of elevated thyroid hormones and could theoretically occur in the long run. You have read about it on the SuppVersity and you've seen it as an ingredient in several recent fat burners... a purportedly 100% save non-suppressive thyroid hormone which goes by the name 3,5-Diiodo-L-Thyronine (T2) . While previous rodent studies highlighted only the beneficial metabolic effects, i.e. increases in fatty acid oxidation and resting energy expenditure, a recent study from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke raises serious concerns about what Wenke Jonas and her colleagues call the "indiscriminate administration of 3,5-T2 as powerful natural hormone for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and pandemic obesity" (Jonas. 2014) - in other words: About using T2 as a weight loss supplement or anti-obesity drug in lean or obese individuals without medical supervision. ...

Higenamine: PES Introduces New "Fat Burner" to the Market. Potent Thermogenic or Dangerous Stimulant?

Image
Image 1: The reformulated PES Alpha T2 contains higenamine , alpha yohimbine and 3.3-diiodo-l-thyronine I just received an advertisement email containing some information about the reformulation of PES popular fatburner Alpha T2 (make sure to read " T2 a Fat Burner for Bulking? " for some details on the thyroid stimulating properties of 3.5-diiodo-l-tyronine the metabolically more active "brother" of the 3.3.-diiodo-l-tyronine in PES Alpha T2) mentioning a compound that is advertised as "an all new beta-agonist", that would have been found to be "more effective" than synephrine. While this claim did not impress me at all, I took the time and dug up some information about "higenamine"... The adrenergic effects of higenamine ( Hig. demethylcoclaurine ) have been well established since the 1980s ( Park. 1984 ). In fact, the cardioactive benzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Aconiti tuber has long been used as a cardiotoni...

T2 a Fat Burner for Bulking? 3,5 Diiodo-L-Thyronine Wards Off Fat Gains & Doubles the Number of Hypertrophy-Prone Glycolytic Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers.

Image 1: T2-based fat burners work! At least when interperitoneally injected in overfed rats ;-) Those of you, who followed my writings even in the pre-SuppVersity days may remember my Team-Andro review (original article in German, link is just a google translation) of the purported fat-loss effects of diiodo-L-tyronines. Almost two years ago, I concluded tha t scientific evidence for their use as "fat burners" in humans was non-existent , while the rodent data that was available at that point, only confirmed that high-dose supplemental 3,5 diiodo-thyronine (and to a lesser extent 3,3' diiodo-thyronine) was able to ameliorate the detrimental metabolic effects of hypothyrodism in rats. Now, the same group of Italian researchers who conducted the initial studies on the metabolic effects of these previously overlooked "by-products" (evidence suggest that they are in fact more than that) of thyroid hormone metabolis...

I-Force Dexaprine Ingredient Write-Up.

Image
Figure 1: I-Force Nutrition's newest fat burner Dexaprine Just received an email from the marketing guys @I-Force Nutrition informing me that "Dexaprine is finally here...". Well, to be honest, I had not been waiting for it, but the email intrigued me and I would like to give you a brief rundown on the ingredients, which are "guaranteed to give you more energy, increased appetite suppression, and insane mood enhancement than you have ever experienced!" - I don't know about you, but I think I have heard similar claims before ;-) Ok, here we go: One bottle of Dexaprine, which is 39.99 ( pre-order offer @ I-Force webshop) has 60 servings (serving size 1 capsule) of the "thermogenic powerhouse" (I love these advertisment guys) @ 600mg of the following ingredients Thermophoric Amine Mood Enhancing Complex , which is basically just synephrine (from citrus aurantium ) + geranamine (which is also known as 1,3-dimethylamylamine, 4-methyl-2-hexylami...
