[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 114782, member: 696"] Your FT4 is at 52% of reference range, and FT3 is at 41.7%. Ideally, most will find the zone when both values are somewhere between 50%-to-80% of reference range, fairly close together, having adequate reserves of T4 converting to the more active, potent T3 (and T2, T1) ... So, knowing your FT3 is lagging a bit would probably warrant more research, [U]BUT[/U], as you stated, [U]more labs are needed. [/U]Reverse T3 is the first (1st) thing I would want to compare against the labs you presented, then of course TPO and TgAb antibodies need to be factored. Being that T4 is further to the right than T3, the area of nutrients and adequate supplementation could very well play a key role as indicated by Vince. Selenium ... get at least 200mcg/day ... Iodine w/kelp, I take 600mcg to 800mcg daily (liquid drops), but I would suggest 150mcg/day and see where you go. Other companion nutrients are: Magensium (I take 400mg at night), Vitamin C, and I'm a firm believer that adequate Vitamin D3 needs to be in the mix (I take 5,000iu/day), and DHEA 25mg at night helps balance the adrenals, which is good for the thyroid, and for iodine productivity at higher doses (matches my needs, but yours could be different) .. As always, consult with your physician on what's right for you. [/QUOTE]
