Thyroidectomy & RAI Bundle | 4 Supplements for People Without a Thyroid

Question 1

Can it be taken if I'm already taking thyroid medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes! T3 Conversion Booster was designed to be used with all thyroid medications including those that contain T3 like Cytomel and liothyronine, and formulations of NDT like Armour Thyroid, NP Thyroid, and Adthyza.

For best results, take it 30-60 minutes away from your thyroid medication (either before or after).

Question 2

Will it increase my free T3 levels?

Accepted Answer

In short, maybe, but not always.

In general, thyroid support supplements typically do not have a big impact on thyroid lab tests especially when compared to prescription thyroid medications.

This is because they each contain different ingredients and each has a different mechanism of action.

Thyroid medications typically have a bigger impact on thyroid lab test levels like TSH, free T3, free T4, and reverse T3.

Thyroid support supplements like T3 conversion booster tend to work more at the cellular level which impacts symptoms but doesn't always impact thyroid lab test results.

This isn't always the case, though, as some people do see changes to their lab tests when using these types of supplements.

But because of the reasons listed above, the best way to determine if it's working for you is by evaluating how you are feeling, not your thyroid lab tests.

Question 3

Is it still helpful if my thyroid has been removed or ablated?

Accepted Answer

Yes! T3 Conversion booster is still beneficial to those without a thyroid and for those with a nonfunctioning thyroid gland (those who have undergone RAI).

The reason is simple:

Even if you don't have a thyroid gland, you still need to produce T3 and because thyroid conversion occurs outside of the thyroid gland, it doesn't really matter if your thyroid is present or not.

It can be argued that T3 Conversion Booster is even more important for those who no longer have a thyroid gland because they are all almost exclusively taking T4-only thyroid medications like levothyroxine which require conversion to become active.

Question 4

What's the difference between Thyroid Glandular+, Thyroid Adrenal Reset Complex, and T3 Conversion Booster?

Accepted Answer

Each of these supplements supports your thyroid in a different way and here's an easy way to differentiate them:

T3 Conversion Booster primarily helps your thyroid convert T4 into T3 and produce more T3 thyroid hormone.

Thyroid Adrenal Reset Complex provides support to the thyroid-adrenal connection.

Thyroid Glandular+ provides direct support to the thyroid gland as well as the pituitary gland.

Each supports a difference aspect of thyroid function which is why they can all be safely combined and used together.

Question 5

Can I use it if I have hyperthyroidism?

Accepted Answer

T3 Conversion Booster is considered a low thyroid support supplement so you generally would not want to take it if you are in a state of thyroid overactivity or hyperthyroidism.

Having said that, there are a few situations where it may make sense to use low thyroid support if you have been labeled with hyperthyroidism:

#1. If your thyroid has been surgically removed. If your thyroid has been removed then you are considered to be hypothyroid even if the reason for the removal was due to hyperthyroidism.

#2. If your thyroid has been ablated with radioactive iodine. If your thyroid has been ablated then you are considered to be hypothyroid even if the reason for the ablation was due to hyperthyroidism.

#3. If you are undergoing block and replace therapy or add-back therapy for hyperthyroidism.

Block and replace therapy is an uncommon treatment used in some situations where a patient with hyperthyroidism will take both thyroid medication like levothyroxine as well as thyroid blocking medication like methimazole.

If you are undergoing this kind of treatment (which is uncommon) then you can consider thyroid support supplements as well.

In general, if you are using thyroid-blocking thyroid medication like methimazole then you probably shouldn't use T3 Conversion Booster.

On the other hand, if you are taking any sort of thyroid medication replacement like levothyroxine (or any others) then you can consider using T3 Conversion Booster.

Question 6

Can I take it if my reverse T3 levels are elevated?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!

If you are trying to lower reverse T3 levels then focusing on free T3 makes a lot of sense.

Here's why:

Your body has the option to turn T4 into either T3 or reverse T3. When you push the pathway down the T4 to the T3 route, you will necessarily reduce how much T4 is available for reverse T3 production.

In other words, anything that decreases T4 to reverse T3 conversion will increase free T3 and anything that increases T4 to T3 conversion will decrease reverse T3.

Question 7

Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

T3 Conversion Booster contains two ingredients that can sometimes be problematic for those who are pregnant: vitamin A and ashwagandha.

These aren't necessarily harmful, but you will get differing opinions on their use during pregnancy depending on who you are talking to.

For this reason, we always recommend that you get approval from your ob/gyn or midwife (or whoever is caring for you during pregnancy) prior to using any supplement including this one.

Question 8

Will it still work if I'm not taking thyroid medication?

Accepted Answer

Yep! You don't need to be taking thyroid medication in order for T3 Conversion Booster to be beneficial.

It just so happens that most people who take it are already taking thyroid medication as well but there are plenty of people who aren't and they have had success using it.

Question 9

If this supplement is so great then why doesn't my doctor know about it?

Accepted Answer

Great question!

We'd all like to believe that our doctors are 100% up to date on the latest research as it pertains to all aspects of our health and thyroid but that just isn't the case.

If they were then we wouldn't have an epidemic of unhappy thyroid patients who still struggle with low thyroid symptoms despite taking their thyroid medication and doing everything else correctly.

For now, the existing thyroid treatment paradigm leaves a lot to be desired which means extra help outside of traditional medications and treatments are often needed.

These treatments in the form of supplements and lifestyle changes are only necessary for those people who are not feeling 100% right now.

If you are someone who is not experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, pain, depression, and so on, then you'd have no need to use thyroid support supplements like T3 Conversion Booster.

But if you are like many other thyroid patients out there who are still suffering then it would be worth considering!

Question 10

Will using this supplement cause my T3 levels to be too high?

Accepted Answer

Nope!

Instead of containing T3 thyroid hormone, T3 Conversion Booster contains natural ingredients that help your body produce a healthy level of T3.

This means that there is never a risk of overproducing T3 and that it can be added to medications that contain T3.

Question 11

How do you take it?

Accepted Answer

The recommended dose is 2 capsules taken each day (with or without food) before noon and at least 30-60 minutes away from your thyroid medication (if you take any).

At 2 capsules each day this supplement will provide you with a 60-day supply.

Question 12

What's the difference between T3 Conversion Booster and T3 thyroid medication?

Accepted Answer

Unlike Cytomel and liothyronine which contain T3 thyroid hormone, T3 Conversion Booster contains all natural ingredients in the form of vitamins and botanical ingredients.

Question 13

How long should I take T3 Conversion booster?

Accepted Answer

T3 Conversion Booster can be taken indefinitely and I recommend using it for as long as it is helping you feel better.

Question 14

How long does it take to work?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid function is slow to respond when compared to other hormone systems in the body.

It takes 6 weeks of daily use of any thyroid hormone or thyroid support supplement before your body will reach a steady state which means it will take at least this long before you start noticing a difference in how you feel.

After 6 weeks you will start to see some improvement but it may take several months for you to feel its full effects.

Question 15

How do I know if it's working?

Accepted Answer

The best way is to pay attention to how you are feeling! Most people know it's working because they feel an increase in energy, an improvement in well-being, and an improvement in their thyroid symptoms.

What type of improvement you may experience depends largely on how your thyroid is impacting your overall health.

Each person has a slightly different set of symptoms so how they respond to T3 Conversion Booster will vary as a result of this.

Question 16

Do I need to test my T3 levels or thyroid lab tests before using it?

Accepted Answer

No, getting your T3 tested is not required before using this supplement. Having said that, you are certainly welcome to do that if you'd like!

Question 17

Are there side effects when using this supplement?

Accepted Answer

Over the last 8 years, tens of thousands of thyroid patients have used T3 Conversion Booster and it is generally very well tolerated.

Question 18

Is Iodine safe to take in this supplement if I have Hashimoto’s?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In addition, it does NOT contain wheat, gluten, yeast, soy protein, dairy products, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or artificial preservatives.

Question 19

How does shipping work?

Accepted Answer

Yes! T3 Conversion Booster has been used by thousands of patients with Hashimoto's without any issues. I formulated T3 Conversion Booster with a small dose of iodine accompanied by selenium to protect against any iodine-related issues.

Remember: Iodine is required by all humans because we can't produce it on our own and we need it for thyroid hormone production. The key to using iodine safely is to use the right dose and combine it with selenium. This supplement was specifically formulated to meet these requirements which is why it is quite safe.

Each serving of T3 Conversion Booster contains 75mcg of Iodine which is well below the recommended high range of iodine intake of 300mcg per day.

Question 20

Question 24

Will it increase my free T3 levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes!

T3 Conversion Booster is still helpful even for those without a thyroid.

This is for several reasons including:

#1. Thyroid conversion occurs outside of the thyroid gland. In other words, this process is still important and continues to occur even if your thyroid gland has been removed or has been damaged.

And #2. Most thyroid patients without a thyroid are using T4-only thyroid medications like levothyroxine and Synthroid.

We know from research studies that patients without a thyroid are usually unable to obtain optimal T3 levels with T4 thyroid medications alone.

For this reason, it's usually more important for someone without a thyroid to take T3 thyroid support supplements.

Question 25

Is it still helpful if my thyroid has been removed or ablated?

Accepted Answer

Yes! T3 Conversion Booster was designed to be used with all thyroid medications including those that contain T3 like Cytomel and liothyronine, and formulations of NDT like Armour Thyroid, NP Thyroid, and Adthyza.

For best results, take it 30-60 minutes away from your thyroid medication (either before or after).
