Compounded t3 not working

[coneflower]

Hi I am on t3 only and due to hypersensitive to fillers etc i tried a couple if compounded pure t3 with just one other ingredient...They didn't work for me at all. I have only found one branded t3 that I can tolerate and need a back up plan...any suggestions advice on this?

Not sure what could be suggested, if you can only tolerate one brand then if it's a prescription item you'll have to hope it doesn't get discontinued, if you are sourcing without prescription then stock up as much as you can.

Have you tried compounded transdermal T3 (liothyronine) cream? That is what I’m currently using (I’m also hyper sensitive to fillers and cannot tolerate microcrystalline cellulose which is in so many meds and supplements).

On several different occasions I did try compounded Liothyronine T3 capsules and also found them to be ineffective. While I can’t completely explain why the capsules didn’t work and the cream does, I imagine it is because they are two different forms of the hormone.

I use the cream in conjunction with Tirosint (levothyroxine) which I take once daily in the afternoon. The cream I apply once daily in the morning. I like the control I have with the cream as I can adjust dosage based upon how much I apply.

I responded to your PM. You will need to locate a compounding pharmacy in the UK. There seem to be many when I do a google search on “compounding pharmacy UK”.

I cannot answer your question if the liothyronine alone will work for you. I use it in conjunction with oral levothyroxine because I respond well to levothyroxine. The liothyronine seems to give me an extra boost.

It really is a trial and error process finding what works for you. Sad that it has to be that way but hormones are complicated. I wish it could be easy.
