GC-1 SOBETIROME 1500mcg

Lipid disorders, which contribute to hypertension, diabetes, and atherosclerosis, are among the most relevant health problems in developed countries nowadays. Although treatment with statins is considered a cornerstone for lowering cholesterol, new strategies to optimize plasma cholesterol levels are still needed. GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially converting white fat, which stores excess calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat. Sobetirome works by activating the receptors for thyroid hormone, which play a role in regulating metabolism--the body's conversion of food into energy. Thyroid hormone receptors also help with adaptive thermogenesis, in which the body converts excess energy (calories and fat) to heat. GC-1 acts similar to thyroid hormones like T2 and T3 in the body. However, it doesn’t seem to cause negative side effects of thyroid meds like suppression of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels. Other studies show GC-1 to increase metabolism and fat burning without causing tachycardia, which is a side effect from using T3. Another benefit noticed with GC-1 was the sparing of bone mineral density, something that is reduced when taking T3. This is a great research chemical for people who always wanted to try thyroid hormones to ramp up fat loss during a cut. But were apprehensive to do so because they don’t want to burn out their thyroid.
