ideal levels of total T3 and free T4?

[Guest guest]

I asked my doc to order free and total T3 and T4 but instead he ordered just

total T3 and just free T4. I have heard over and over that the reference ranges

are too broad, so where SHOULD my levels (of total T3 and free T4) be, ideally?

Thanks!!

The upper 1/3 of the ranges is where most feel best.

So are following good numbers (thyca but no RAI or surgery) ??Thyroxine (T4) Free Direct: 1.35   (range is 0.82 - 1.77)Triiodothyronine (T3) Free: 2.9      (range is 2.0 - 4.4)Vit. D came out very low (been coming out low for last one year) at 25.6 where the range is 32-100...What good stuff could I take to get that level up?

Thankssajjad

Your FT4 looks OK but your FT3 is a little low. My children and I range around 350 - 375 when we feel our best.

As for increasing Vit D. Our family uses Biotics Research Bio-D-Mulsion Forte. It is 2,000 iU of Vit D3 and is emulsified for better absorption. My children take 2,000 iu per day plus they take Cod Liver Oil which has A & D. I take 10,000 iU / day because that is how much it takes to get it to the 70 level where I feel best.
