But since T4 gets converted to T3, it’s not necessary
to need
to take both. Especially since, along with the
thyroid, other organs of the body, like the liver, are contributing to that conversion. It only becomes necessary to need both when there is a conversion problem. Through blood work a dr can configure if the conversion is taking place. If there were a problem a dr would then prescribe an adjunct T3 med like the brand Cytomel.
Rachel4: I agree.
