I have no thyroid gland so it was even more important for me to get both hormones. Docs will tell you your body will convert T4 to T3 so you only need to take T3. But I just ask if that conversion is enough, then why do healthy thyroid glands produce T3 direct? Since they do, I want my thyroid supplementation to include both too. Lots of my problems were helped with T3! |
wow! Great info. My thyroid died at 42. I gained 40 lbs in 3 mos and I can't get it off! Maybe I'll take this info to my doc! Thanks!!!
