Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Does the body naturally produce T4? What about if we're only taking T3? The reason I'm asking is because I saw that Rainbow said she's been on T3 for 6 months but her T4 still shows up on her labs. Val's response to Rainbow mentioned that she had good levels of T4. Thanks guys, Kem in Eugene <º)))>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 My understanding is that we are always going to make a small amount of t4. Even when we are taking t3.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Yes the body normally produces SOME T4 even when the thyroid ios fully supressed on T3. I ma not sure why but I seldom see FT4 at 0 even after months on good doses of T3. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
