Re: What do my RT3 results mean?

[Guest guest]

Triiodothyronine,Free,Serum 3.2 pg/mL 2.0-4.4

Reverse T3 320 pg/mL 90-350

You rratio is BAD. You take FT3 3200/ RT3 320 = 10 and it needs ot be at least

20. You r iron is a tad lwo and you should be supplementing. But not the usual

150-3200mg I would try @50mg daily. You could use a bit more sea salt your

potassium is OK. Your estradiol is VERY lwo and I ouwld suppleemnt it. So, more

T3 more salt, and some estrogen.

Thanks for your help Val. I guess I'm on the right track getting onto T3.

On my labs for the past 6 months I've had Ferritin >350. Should I still

supplement Iron, or is the high ferritin from inflammation?

I actually gave blood shortly after I did this test to try and lower my

ferritin, based on docs advice.

What form of iron supplement is safe?

As you just gavce blood before this maybe you can hoild off on the iron.

If oyu have negative side effects from T3 I owuld suggest a complete

iorn p[anel agian wiht % sturation included.

I disagree with supplementing estrogen; isn't Bob male (looks like male

tests/ranges)? If so, boosting testosterone above midrange might be beneficial

instead.

You are right if this is a man... and I would assume a man is Bob, the

estrogen levels shoudl rise a bit from good testosterone levels.
