[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 263002, member: 44064"] In my experience, it was similar to TRT, in that adding small amounts of thyroid hormone caused a proportionate suppression of endogenous production, so that the resulting levels of free T4 and free T3 were not higher than my baseline values. In fact, adding small amounts of T4 only resulted in lower free T3 values than baseline and adding small amounts of T3 only resulted in lower free T4 values than baseline. Consequently, the only way to reliably increase the levels of either free T4 or free T3 compared to your baseline is to take full replacement doses of thyroid hormone, whether that be T4 only, a mixed product like dessicated thyroid extract (armour thyroid etc), or if you really like to live dangerously, T3 only. The effects of successfully elevating my thyroid hormones relative to baseline were mostly negative but that is another story. Others may have different experiences but for these reasons I found "microdoses" of thyroid hormone to be a complete waste of time. [/QUOTE]
