"T1: A
thyroid hormone precursor that contains one iodine atom per
molecule, that is believed to be inert.
T2: Previously thought to be inert, this
thyroid hormone that contains two iodine atoms per molecule is
now known to be the MOST thermogenic of the thyroid hormones -
even more potent than T3. This is available on a non-prescription
basis in the US. Presently, the only source is from Biotest.
Their capsules are 50-mcg, and must typically be divided into
eighths to make reasonable doses.
T3: The thyroid hormone containing three
iodine atoms per molecule that your body uses to push your
temperature up. This is available as Cytomel, a prescription
drug. You should use the smallest 5-mcg pills, so that you can
adjust your dosage more easily.
T4: The thyroid hormone containing four atoms
per molecule that your body uses to push the temperature in your
vital organs up or down toward 98.0F. Hence, this is a good
"rescue treatment" to address overdoses of other thyroid hormones
and avoid organ damage, which you body can also use to subvert
your attempts to raise its temperature. This is available under
several trade names, including Levoxyl. You should get the 25-mcg
pills, the smallest available, and break them in half."
