Dear learned friends - vitamin optimisation help

Hello,

I've read numerous times on here that vit d, ferritin, folate and b12 levels need to be optimum in order for optimum levels of t4 conversion to t3.

I would be super grateful if anyone can point me to an article/source that supports this.

Thanks guys.

J
