T2: The Fat Terminator 3,5 Diiodo-L-Thyronine

When the thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, lose iodine the result is another thyroid hormone known as T2 or 3,5- Diiodo-L-thyronine. While it was previously thought that T2 had no effect on fat loss, it has now been found that it can produce large losses in body fat.

T2 appears to do this the similar to how l-carnitine helps with fat loss by supporting the amount of fat that enters the cell mitochondria. Once in the mitochondria, the fat is burned as energy. There is also some evidence that T2 may support increased growth hormone levels.
