[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 126282, member: 18023"] Well, my FT3 got to the top of the range, 4.3 ng/dl, so I am not sure why more would be better. Wouldn't more T3 just put me higher with FT3? RT3 is kind of a strange boogeyman, Internet forums sometimes claim RT3 is an active hormone that can replace FT3 while NIH and science based studies claim that your body creates more RT3 when it has too much FT3 and RT3 is biologically inactive. Also, thyroid medications have far reaching impacts throughout the body, one example is on blood glucose, without being clearly hypo or hyper thyroid and not having any symptoms, I am reluctant to fool around with levels just to adjust them to some level that seems more like a popular theory than a fact. The symptoms I did have I attribute to low testosterone, raising TT seems to have taken care of that. When I did google optimum thyroid levels + NIh, I also came up a study that was the exact opposite of sites that claim being in the upper part of the thyroid hormone range is optimal. ------------------------------------------ [I]Greater longevity has been associated with higher TSH and lower TH levels, but mechanisms underlying TSH/TH differences and longevity remain unknown. [/I] [URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/the-association-of-reduced-thyroid-function-with-longevity.16567/"]The Association of Reduced Thyroid Function With Longevity[/URL] I was hoping NDT would increase my metabolism and make weight loss easier, it didn't seem to make enough of a difference in that regard. [B]I wonder if anyone has ever done a basal metabolic rate (BMR) both before and after a few months of taking NDT or some similar synthetic hormone. Your BMR should increase. Now that would be an objective definitive result. And I wonder how much it increases? [/B] If anyone has NIH or other research from studies that indicates RT3 actively replaces FT3 in receptor sites, meaning showhow makes your FT3 less available for use, please post it. [/QUOTE]
