DIO2 test

I’m about to order a DIO2 saliva testing kit from Regenerus Labs for my daughter. I’ve had this done myself and it showed I have a heterozygous form. However, there’s a drop down menu giving the choice of:

Genetics

Hormones

Thyroid

and I’m not sure which one to select. I don’t remember this drop down menu when I ordered mine a few years ago. Can anyone help, please?

Hey fortunata

Did you manage to lose weight in the end?

What dose of thyroid meds t4/t3 are you on at the moment?

Hi. I’m on 60mcgs of Liothyronine a day. I feel great on this and began a 1200 cal a day diet a week and a half ago. Been doing HIT exercise too and have lost four pounds already. I only began to feel this good once my D3 levels rose and I’m also taking vit K2, vit c, Selenium, Zinc and vit e every day.

I did a Regenerus DIO2 saliva test about 18 months ago. Another member advised me to phone Regenerus to ask which I needed. They are helpful and will advise you.

Thanks, Marigold. I rang and asked and they said it didn’t really matter which one I clicked from the drop down menu.
