Tanyaking,

1 grain NDT is equivalent to 25mcg T3.

Oh fab,so by adding 10 mcg of t3 and dropping the one grain is a gentle exchange? And I can gently add more t3?

Tanyaking,

No, it's not a gentle exchange, it may make you undermedicated. If you only want to add 10mcg T3 why not reduce NDT by 1/2 a grain?

Morning clutter,

I’d introduced 10 mcg of t3 too the 4 grains of thyroid s I’m on six weeks ago ..then 2 weeks ago I added the additional 10 mcg of t3 and dropped 1 grain ..so now on 3 grains and 20 mcg of t3 ..

Tanyaking,

I recommend checking FT3 level 8 weeks after switching to 3 grains + 20mcg T3.

Tanyaking,

No it's fine. You're splitting your T3 throughout the day.

Not what you're looking for?
