Not sure I've seen a reference to protein, but you're right, I have seen Peat suggest that B vitamins and sugar are needed for a higher metabolic rate.tara said:visionofstrength said:I guess I don't see how it can lose effect, any more than caffeine can lose effect, unless you're not getting enough fructose.narouz said:Such_Saturation said:It lost effect while taking four micrograms every few hours I think it was.
This is an interesting theory:
that T3 is not effective long term,
or that T3 doesn't work with some.
Isn't the answer to raising metabolism in some situations.
The product itself could be inconsistent in its ingredients, due to poor batch control.
Is there a possibility that supplementing T3 and/or T4 at a rate that tries to drive the metabolism higher than there are resources to sustain could result in the body defending itself by converting some of the T4 that is around into reverse T3, which has the effect of opposing T3?
VoS mentions fructose, which seems reasonable, but I wonder if it applies to other essential nutrients too, not just fructose and/or glucose? Perhaps protein supply could also be such a bottle neck? Or some of the micronutrients? And not just what goes into your mouth, but what is absorbed in a usable form by your digestion, in whatever state it is currently in?
I think Peat has cautioned that if you take too much thyroid the excess will be converted to reverse T3, and that there may be a resulting cortisol reaction: you might feel too much of an effect, not too little.
