@scamp T3 is quick acting and has a short half life. T4 release slowly and has a lower half life. I would recomend adding some T4 to your regimen

@Galaroc Thanks for the links, I will have a read. Currently I've stopped taking T3 and am going to try and improve my diet before I try again.

@scamp At this point we can't even be sure your chest sensations are heart related, but you could always get an EKG if you wish to rule it out.

I would just focus on getting plenty of heart supporting nutrients in your diet. Potassium, magnesium, selenium, vitamins C, D, & E. Make sure you're keeping PTH suppressed with plenty of calcium and/or low phosphate. Those are the main supporters of general cardio health.

Endocrine issues, like estrogen dominance, can also be a problem, the "staircase effect" that Albert Szent-Gyorgyi talked about. Androgens and Progesterone stabilize the heart's rhythm, whereas estrogen promotes heart failure pathology by creating weaker faster beats. The heart begins to work twice as hard for smaller results.

@scamp said in Help me choose supplements:

@Mulloch94 37 nmol/L

That's borderline. I think it's still technically "in the reference" because the bottom end is 30 nmol/L for most standard tests, but for me it would be too close for comfort.

If it were me, I would probably do 10,000 units daily for a couple weeks then reduce it to 5,000 units daily for maintenance. Check yourself again in about 12 weeks to reevaluate your situation.

@BroJonas, my strategy was lots of simple sugar, salt and dairy, and my macro split was 60C/20P/20F. My diet consisted of fruit juice (mostly hot pear cider), fruit molasses, filtered honey, maple syrup, raw sugar, raw milk/shakes, crustless no bake cheesecake (mild yogurt strained until as thick as quark with Canadian prairie blossom honey, vanilla and salt), wildflower honey & vanilla bean ice cream, omelettes, crustless quiche, white chocolate & cinnamon covered sukkari dates, seared sea scallops and steamed crab with tupelo honey butter.

What does it mean if ~4mcg lowers my temperature 😞
