The most common hormones that your thyroid needs include:
T3
Triiodothyronine, otherwise known as T3, is made in the thyroid gland, but it can also be developed in tissues through the enzymatic conversion of T4 into T3. Several organs, such as the kidneys and lungs, can perform enzymatic conversion.
T4
The hypothalamus and pituitary gland signal your thyroid gland to make T4, which is also known as Thyroxine. T4 combines with T3 to make what is considered the “thyroid hormone.”
These hormones help maintain muscle control, brain function and digestion. Along with these functions, they also regulate your metabolic rate and bone health.
When you lack T3 and T4, it can cause hypothyroidism, which is when your thyroid underperforms its functions. This can create a wide range of disruptive symptoms, such as weight gain, fatigue, and hair thinning.
