Cytomel is a synthetic thyroidal hormone designed to increase the metabolic rate in the cells. It is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid but a thyroid hormone. It is used medically to treat cases of thyroid insufficiency, obesity, certain
metabolic disorders and fatigue. Specifically this drug is a pharmaceutical preparation of the natural thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T-3). When
administered, Cytomel increases the patient’s metabolism.The result is an increased rate of cellular activity (noted by a more rapid utilization of
carbohydrates, fats and proteins).
