Which do you use and why?
I used to be in the camp that subscribed to the notion that low dose T3 just made more sense if and when GH drove Thyroid levels down from long term use due to it being active and direct thyroid hormone. No guessing involved.
Also read that T4 ramps up TBG (Thyroid Binding Globulin) and/or rT3 (Reverse Thyroid) after extended use and either of these essentially bound up quite a bit of active free T3. No bueno.
Conversely, I’ve also read that T4 is not only not as catabolic but had some mild anabolic attributes.
So confused. Any insight is appreciated.
