Hello All,
I am on the higher end of normal range for magnesium and I just started supplementing t3.
My question is blood work accurate with determining this or is a hair mineral analysis test more accurate?
I got my bloods done before I start t3 (25 mcg a day nibbled throughout the course of a day) since I want to lower my cholesterol and I am on the higher range values for pretty much everything (calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium)
TSH was 2.1
Free t3 and free t4 were both on the low end.
Ferratin was 40 - I want to increase this but peat says hypothyroidism is the cause of low ferratin so I will take thyroid and monitor this while eating more red meat ( it is non existent right now)
PS - I am curious how to dose this close to bed time as I heard the half life is 6 hours but one can go hypo in the middle of then night since t3's half life is short. I also heard that it works in conjunction with you're thyroid and wont supress at that low of a dose but I guess I will just find out
