Turning it on it's head most people with a fully suppressed TSH (ie

their own thyroids shut down) need somewhere between 75 and 125 of T3

only to feel well.

It's a reassonable assumption therefor that a typical functioning

thyroid system (ie the thyroid and periferal conversion) will produce

around 100mcg of T3 a day.

Somewhere between 10 and 20% is directly produced as T3, the rest is

converted from the T4 production.
