Tiromel T3 source

I'm currently taking grossman cytomel $16 per 100 (Inc delivery) but would like to reduce costs. Also other family members are trialing T3 as I have had some success with it. So my stock will deplete quickly.

I have seen a few posts regarding tiromel at around €2.50 per 100. Picked up in Turkish pharmacies. Is anyone getting it at this cost via online?

Just getting the bodybuilding sites when I search at $25 per 100.

In accordance with site rules no online sources in replies, but interested in what others are paying.

Simple answer to that - no, it's not possible. Anyone who is supplying this online is doing it as a business and therefore has to make a profit so it can't be sold at the same price as buying over the counter in a pharmacy.

I don't think you'll be able to, that is a good price as it includes delivery.

Dodgy. Best to avoid bodybuilding sites, you never know what you're going to get.

Also other family members are trialing T3 as I have had some success with it.

I hope they've done a complete thyroid panel to know if they need T3.

Thanks for reply, I was probably being a little over optimistic. I think I was hoping someone knew of a friendly pharmacy that would post.

The three members of family all feel levo doesn't alleviate symptoms and GP's will not prescribe a higher dose as 'in range' even with T3 in lower end of range.

I'm currently reading 'Impaired Sensitivity to Thyroid Hormone' may be applicable with Mum hypo/type 2, sister with Chronic fatigue another type 1 diabetic and one hypo and depression, and me hypo and twin brother I think starting hypo but not diagnosed

There is one but their price is far, far, far higher than you're currently paying.

Are their nutrient levels optimal:

Vit D - 100-150nmol/L

B12 - top of range for Total B12, 70+ for Active B12

Folate - at least half way through rage

Ferritin - half way through range, minimum 70+ or thyroid hormone to work properly

Nutrient levels should be optimal before considering T3.

Oh well, I'll stick with current supply route. I was going to ask a friend going to Turkey on holiday, but it concerns me that it wouldn't be for their personal use.

Some of the family are working on their vitamin levels.

Sister with CFS has not been treated with thyroid hormones, I'm not sure she has had any medication prescribed. My mum just wants to stay away from the GP. Even armed with the facts and Medicheck results she finds it too stressful. She did get levo increase when GP saw medichecks results and said they would keep an eye on T3 levels then GP over ruled by labs when requesting T3. Sister with depression just doesn't want to talk thyroid with me any more and GP's have her on max dose of sertraline and are puzzled as to why its not working.
