[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 147617, member: 15043"] I wouldn’t stress too much. I agree with fifty, I would just get on some cytomel. I personally wouldn’t touch the generic stuff. According to the FDA, generics are allowed to have a broad variance in efficacy, compared to brand names. Here’s the exact excerpt. [SIZE=17px][COLOR=rgb(38, 38, 38)]The FDA’s rules effectively acknowledge that. The agency’s definition of bioequivalence is surprisingly broad: A generic’s maximum concentration of active ingredient in the blood must not fall more than 20% below or 25% above that of the brand name. This means a potential range of 45%, by that measure, among generics labeled as being the same[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=17px][COLOR=rgb(38, 38, 38)]As far as Empower not being legit, or improperly dosing their sustained release T3, I think we can easily disregard that type of thinking.
