Do you suspect a thyroid problem but testing shows “normal”. It may be a reverse T3 problem and this simple test can tell you the truth about what is really going on with your thyroid.
NOTE: This test is ONLY AVAILABLE TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS.
What is Reverse T3?
Reverse T3 (RT3) levels can increase when peripheral conversion of T4 to active T3 is impaired. Peripheral thyroid imbalances may arise from nutrient deficiencies, heavy metal exposure, adrenal stress, enzyme deficiencies, and chronic illnesses.
Reverse T3 acts as a storage protein for three molecules of iodine within tissues and the circulation. T3 and RT3 are de-iodinated to T2, releasing one of its iodine molecules. These iodine molecules are then utilised by a variety of tissues including breast, prostate, ovaries, salivary glands, CNS, stomach, kidneys and placenta.
