The thyroid gland is located towards the base of the neck and influences a wide variety of bodily processes including brain development, heart function, and digestive function. It produces the biologically active hormones T3 and T4 which play a major role in regulating metabolism.
T4 (thyroxine) powder is produced in higher amounts than T3 (triiodothyronine) powder and functions as a T3 precursor. Around 40% of T4 in the body is converted into T3 powder through the process of removing an iodine group from its outer ring (deiodination). Once converted, the body’s cells use T3 to deliver oxygen and generate energy within various tissues and glands within the body. The thyroid gland generates 20% of the body’s total T3 whereas the remaining 80% is created outside of the thyroid gland in other tissues. Most people secrete between 10-22 mcg T3 and 94-110 mcg T4 each day.
