"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."
