[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 21817, member: 696"] Vince, obviously your serum levels are nowhere at a level that is desired. Free T4 is at 29.8% of reference range Free T3 is at 4% of reference range. * Ultimately, you would probably like both of these to be in the 50% to 80% area of reference range for optimal results; factoring that Reverse T3 is also at a desirable ratio. On your dosage, 2 grains for some can be very low. 3 to 5 grains is actually quite common with Armour, and I know some guys that even take a little more. I agree with the statements above on Iodine and Selenium. A little kelp and selenium supplements can go along way, as little as 225mcg of iodine/day can do wonders. It wouldn't be the worse thing to titrate your grain dosage up 1/2 grain every week to 2 weeks, maybe get to 3.5 -to-4 grain range, and check labs compared to how you feel. I also agree that Reverse T3 needs to be factored each time. If one of the variables with cortisol, iron, electrolytes, etc., are out of balance, then higher amounts of FT4--> RT3 is going to be evident. That will be problematic if administering larger doses.
