T3 Optimization

Meaning

T3 Optimization is the clinical process of ensuring that the active thyroid hormone, Triiodothyronine (T3), is available in optimal concentration at the cellular receptor level to drive necessary metabolic processes. This goes beyond simply normalizing TSH or T4 levels, focusing specifically on the efficiency of T4-to-T3 conversion and the management of reverse T3 (rT3). Effective T3 Optimization is critical for maintaining basal metabolic rate, energy production, body temperature, and cognitive function.
