Effects of Methyl-E (or Epistane, Havoc) on Thyroid

[danzul]

Methyl-E, Havoc and Epistane all have a caution against using their product if you have a pre-existing thyroid condition. I was wondering if anyone had any information on the particular effects of 2a,3a Epithio-17a -methyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstane on the thyroid gland, and whether or not it would be advisable to take this product if one is hypothyroid?

do you have hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism... what is your BF%? do you have any heart issues?

I'm hypothyroid, and require .125 mg of synthyroid daily to normalize my count. Otherwise I'm I'm in very good shape, probably about 15-18% BF at the moment at 225.

My heart is in good shape. I play varsity rugby and have never had any blood pressure or blood lipid issues.

Does anyone have any information? It's not like my family doctor would be a better source of information in this case.

Well, the trick here will be to monitor your body alongside a physician WITH BLOOD WORK... see below.

WRONG! a doctor is your best friend in your scenario. He can get you bloodwork and any counteractive measures you may need. Talk to him about it in confidentiality, and decide where to go from there, if you decide against using a doctor, then do so safely. Odds are you will have no issues/complications whatsoever, BUT there's always a chance, and it's Murphy's law to have that 1 in a million thing happen to you.

Fair enough, and I certainly would not neglect to monitor my thyroid numbers in any event. However my point is that there is next to no chance my family doctor will be familiar with this substance, and I could also guarantee I would get a blanket disaproval for using a pro-hormone regardless of any precautions that I would surely take.

The nature of my question relates to the reason for the warning. What is the reason for the rather harsh warning against using this supplement with a pre-existing thyroid condition? What are the risks? What are the known effects that this particular PH has on the thyroid gland?

Thanks.
