Enzymes pills for good T4-T3 conversion

[adin]

I'm just wondering why it's not possible to made an enzymes pills (enzyme 5′ – deiodinase & intestinal sulfatase) for aid the hormones conversion for those who need, in this way maybe we may no longer need to add t3. (it's just a childish dreamy question)

Even if you had the enzyme, and formed a tablet, would the enzyme actually get from your stomach into your body?

I was thinking the same thing. And wouldn't there be a danger that it reached some parts and not others, worked in some parts and not others... Nice idea, though.

We need to think all these things - even if they get shot down.

After all, Murray had this crazy idea about taking thyroids from sheep and feeding them to people...

And there was that chocolate company that had the crazy idea of inversing the chocolate and the sugar coating. And gave us M&Ms! That worked, too!

Sorry, I've got this bag of them, sitting on my desk, daring me to open it...
