T1 and T2

[Guest guest]

I found this information on www.altsupportthyroid.org:

" Additional thyroid hormones are T2 and T1. In medication form, they may be

found only in desiccated thyroid, which is natural thyroid hormone derived from

pigs' thyroids. Much less is known about these hormones.

Many thyroid patients do quite well on T4 medication alone, or on T4 and T3

together. However, for those that don't, desiccated thyroid is a viable option.

The majority of patients who switch to desiccated thyroid find that their health

improves, so these unmeasured hormones appear to have some function " .

I guess much research has not been done on other thyroid hormones than T3 and

T4...but apparently, their very existence can explain the improvement many

patients experience when they switch from synthetic to natural hormone

replacement...!
