Re: Iodine and adrena fatigue

[Guest guest]

T4 has iodine too. 4 atoms per molecule of T4 vs 3 atoms of iodine in

T3. If a person taking a thyroid with T4 such as armour, Thyroid-S,

synthroid is actually converting T4 to T3, every conversion of a T4

molecule into a T3 molecule results in an atom of unbound iodine being

freed from the T4 molecule. It seems logical from the names of the

hormone molecules that conversions from T3 to T2 and T1 (whatever the

sequence is) also result in atoms of free iodine being released. Or so I

think.

ALL thyroid hormones are made of iodine.
