CYCLE/STACKING

Solo cycle:

• Thyroxyl is often used alone in a cycle to address hypothyroidism. Dosage and duration are determined by the treating physician.

Cutting cycle:

• In cutting cycles, Thyroxyl may be stacked with fat loss agents like Clenbutaxyl for enhanced results. Dosage should be carefully monitored.
