Kelp promotes T4 production, not recommended.

The others should be OK if they help you

From CustomMedicine's article on rT3:"In addition nutrients such as selenium, zinc, Vit B6, B12 and E, iron and iodine should be supplemented as they are necessary cofactors for this enzyme to function correctly and thus ensure appropriate T3 production."Why do some say iodine is bad for rT3 while others say it's good?

I believe that Iodine is taken up by the thyroid when it needs to make T4, so to take iodine means your body will make T4 when you're wanting to eliminate it. Can anyone confirm?>Can I start to take Melatonin again? Should I not take kelp and niacin? Kelp promotes T4 production, not recommended.The others should be OK if they help youNick

I use melatonin periodically. I don't know of any reason you can't use it with a

High RT3 issue. Not that I have read anyway. People with adrenal fatigue often

do well using it to help regulate their circadian rhythm and allow them to get

the rest they desperately need.

I don't see a problem with kelp or niacin either. Someone will chime in if they

have heard otherwise.

Depends if you are talking about T3 being converted from T4 or being

supplemented directly

When you are on T3 only you don't want to promote T4 production and

don't need to " help the T3 to T3 conversion process " as there isn't

one
