Triyotex

[mstp]

I usually buy Cytomel online *source removed by admin as per guidelines* but at present this is unavailable so I'm wondering whether I should buy some Triyotex which they are offering as an alternative. Does anyone know anything about this product please?

I don't know anything about how Triyotex compares to any other brand of T3, but bear in mind they are 75mcg capsules and how much T3 you take. I imagine it wont be easy to split the capsule into smaller doses unless you have a finely calibrated weighing scale.

They are capsules of 75 mcg. You can’t really split them as they’re tiny granules. I believe they’re made in Mexico but not sure if it’s the same company as Grossman. I have a box at home if you need the ingredients. Inbox me and I’ll be able to check on Wednesday if you can’t find them online. I have no idea if they’re slow release as they look like slow release vit c.

It's produced by a company in Mexico called Medix. Comes 30 capsules to a box and is OTC in Mexico. Not sure of it being slow release as I've seen postings saying it's regular release as well. Costs about $13 US in Mexico.

There were many threads and posts about Triyotex being slow release.

Ended up that the possibility was stated on at least one site, several years ago, but since then nothing suggests it is slow release.

Are you absolutely sure it is over-the-counter within Mexico? Seems odd if it is OTC but Grossman Cynomel, in a lower stated dose, is prescription-only.

I was able to pick up a couple boxes otc on a trip to Mexican border town last week. I'm going to see if any o the local pharmacies have any info on Cynomel being available. Maybe it's a weak formuation as 75mcg seems high.

Thank you - yes, everyone who has tried it seems to think it cannot possibly be 75 micrograms.

Thank you everyone. I think I'll probably try something else so I've asked people in a separate posting if they can pm me with reliable suppliers.

I have been using Triyotex for several years. I love it!

Have you taken any other make of liothyronine?

If you have, do you have any opinion on how Triyotex compares with other makes in terms of dosing?
