CC, I don't think there are any, that's the problem. You can only really use FT3 tests to see what's circulating in the blood stream, but it's perfectly possible for lots to be sloshing around and only some of it being absorbed at a cellular level.

Thank you Jazzw, so if the NHS won't do RT3 tests, you have no way of knowing if FT3, even if you have a high FT3 reading, is being assimilated at a cellular level?
