Side Effects of T2 Thyroid Hormone: Is It Dangerous?


Listen Later

T2 thyroid hormone, also known as 3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine, is gaining a lot of attention among thyroid patients, and for good reason.
As far as thyroid hormones are concerned, T2 plays a major role in regulating metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, and heat production, making it the ideal treatment if you are suffering from hypothyroid-related weight gain as well as high cholesterol.
For this reason, many thyroid patients are wondering if it’s right for them and they’ve been asking a lot of questions:
Is T2 thyroid hormone safe?
What are the side effects?
And should I try it?
Well, this video is going to shed light on all of those.
First, we have no reason to suspect that T2 thyroid hormone is harmful because thyroid patients have been using it for over 70 years. This is because T2 is found in small amounts in NDT thyroid medications like Armour thyroid.
What about side effects? Based on the over 10,000 thyroid patients who have used my T2 supplement, here’s what I’ve found:
Roughly 70-75% see some benefit when taking it. Roughly 5-10% see no discernable benefit and roughly 10-15% of patients see some minor negative side effect when taking it.
So, should you give T2 a try? That depends on how you are feeling.
If you are a thyroid patient who is currently feeling lousy despite taking your thyroid medication every day then, yeah, giving it a try may be a good idea.
In addition, if you are a thyroid patient suffering from the inability to lose weight then that’s another reason to consider giving it a try.
