Simple Dosing, Impressive Results
How to use for
Thyroid Support
For best results, take 2 capsules each day before noon, with or without food. If using with thyroid medication, take 30-60 minutes before or after.
Research-Backed Ingredients
Guggul Extract 500 mg
Guggul extract is sourced from the sap of trees native to India. Research shows that it can help support thyroid conversion and immune health.
Ashwagandha 200 mg
Acting as an adaptogenic compound, ashwagandha has been shown to support thyroid and adrenal function, balanced TSH levels, muscle mass, and recovery.
Zinc (Zinc Citrate)
Zinc is an essential mineral that supports healthy thyroid and immune function as well as thyroid cellular sensitivity, making it ideal for T3 support.
Selenium (l-selenomethionine)
Selenium is required by the body for the use of special enzymes known as selenoproteins. These proteins support thyroid conversion and glutathione.
Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate)
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin involved in the regulation of thyroid hormone at the cellular receptor. It supports T3 binding and activation.
Iodine (Icelandic kelp)
Iodine is used by the thyroid gland to create thyroid hormones like T3 and T3. States of low iodine may lead to reversible low thyroid function.
Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl)
Acting as an antioxidant, vitamin E may support a healthy immune system, which may translate to less thyroid gland damage in states of Hashimoto’s.*
Rosemary Extract (rosemarinic)
Flush with compounds like rosmirinic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol, rosemary extract has antioxidant and immune-modulating supporting effects.
T4 to T3 Conversion Blend
T3 is the most powerful thyroid hormone in the body, and the majority of it is produced through a process known as peripheral thyroid conversion.
In this process, your body takes T4 and transforms it into T3 by removing iodine.
Without this step, your body would be unable to create and use thyroid hormone because the most abundant thyroid hormone (T4) is inactive.
Whether you are taking a T4-only thyroid medication like levothyroxine or something is impeding your body’s ability to create T3, this process is critical to helping you feel your best.
And the natural and botanical ingredients found in T3 Conversion Booster allow this process to move forward unencumbered:
- Guggul extract (Commiphora mukul) (oleogum-resin) 500 mg – Guggul is a botanical compound gathered from the sap of a tree native to India that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Studies have shown that this compound has broad benefits on inflammation, liver health, obesity, and acne. In addition, it has also been documented to have pro-thyroid benefits as it increases iodine uptake into the thyroid gland and enhances thyroid peroxidase function.*
- Rosemary Extract (rosemarinus officinalis)(leaf)(5% rosemarinic acid) 50 mg – Acting as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, rosemary extract may help protect the thyroid gland from inflammation-induced damage. It’s also been shown to have beneficial effects on T4, T3, and TSH and may promote TSH receptor function. On top of these pro-thyroid benefits, it’s also been shown to have anxiolytic and anti-depressant effects.*
- Ashwagandha (withania somnifera)(root) 200 mg – Acting as an adaptogenic compound, Ashwagandha has been shown in studies to increase T4 and T3 levels, normalize the TSH in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, and improve cortisol regulation. This isn’t even taking into account the beneficial effects that Ashwagandha has on weight loss and the building of muscle mass, both of which are problems thyroid patients struggle with. These combined benefits make Ashwagandha one of the best adaptogens for thyroid support.*
- Zinc (as zinc citrate) 5 mg – Perhaps one of the most well-known thyroid-supporting nutrients, zinc helps directly support T4 to T3 Conversion as well as the binding of thyroid hormone to the nuclear receptor due to its incorporation in the zinc-finger domain. Zinc is included in this formula in an effective dose sufficient to support this function while also limiting your risk of developing GI distress, which is common with other forms and doses of zinc.
- Selenium (as l-selenomethionine) 100 mcg – Selenium is required for important enzymes, called selenoproteins, to function. These selenoproteins help convert T4 to T3 in various tissues and support the production of glutathione in the thyroid gland. In low selenium states, your thyroid gland is more prone to oxidative damage when it creates thyroid hormones, which puts you at increased risk for autoimmune thyroid disease. Replacing selenium not only protects the thyroid gland but also supports the production of T3 directly. Selenomethionine is one of the most usable forms of selenium, which is why it’s included in this formula.
Thyroid Cellular Sensitivity Blend
You can create all of the T3 in the world, but if your cells can’t use it, it’s basically useless.
That’s why, in addition to containing a T4 to T3 conversion boosting blend, T3 Conversion Booster also contains a thyroid cellular sensitivity blend.
And the job of this blend is to allow your newly created T3 to do its job by interacting with the thyroid nuclear receptor found in the nucleus of all of your cells.
The specialty ingredients that help this process work efficiently include:
- Vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate) 450 mcg RAE – Vitamin A forms a complex on the thyroid hormone receptor that enhances the binding of thyroid hormone. In other words, without sufficient vitamin A, T3 is much less effective. And given that roughly 45% of the U.S. population doesn’t consume enough vitamin A in their diet, there’s a very high chance your thyroid doesn’t have what it needs. This effect on thyroid hormone binding is so powerful that suboptimal vitamin A reduces total T3, total T4, free T3, and free T4. T3 Conversion Booster contains a pre-activated form of vitamin A, which is easily usable by thyroid patients.
- Zinc (as zinc citrate) 5 mg – Perhaps one of the most well-known thyroid-supporting nutrients, zinc helps directly support T4 to T3 Conversion as well as the binding of thyroid hormone to the nuclear receptor due to its incorporation in the zinc-finger domain. Zinc is included in this formula in an effective dose sufficient to support this function while also limiting your risk of developing GI distress, which is common with other forms and doses of zinc.
Thyroid Biosynthesis Blend
Thyroid biosynthesis is a fancy word that describes the production of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland.
Each and every day, your thyroid is supposed to produce about 80 to 100 mcg of T4 and around 30 mcg of T3.
If you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, then you know that this number is much lower.
But you can enhance its production by providing your body with the building blocks that it needs to create thyroid hormones.
And the thyroid biosynthesis blend found in T3 conversion Booster can help you do just that, which is why it contains:
- Iodine (from organic Icelandic kelp)(laminaria digitata)(stem and leaf) 75 mcg – Iodine creates the backbone of thyroid hormone and is required in optimal amounts for thyroid hormone production. Iodine deficiency is the most well-documented cause of hypothyroidism and is completely preventable. Based on physiologic needs, regulatory bodies recommend that adults consume 100 to 300 mcg of iodine per day. Unfortunately, the average American consumes around 130 mcg per day, which creates a deficiency of up to 20 to 90 mcg that can build up over time. The iodine in T3 Conversion Booster combats this problem by making up the difference.
- Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 200 IU – Vitamin D protects your thyroid gland from autoimmune thyroid disease and thyroid cancer. Research has also shown that the severity of hypothyroidism tracks closely with the degree of Vitamin D deficiency that one experiences. T3 Conversion Booster contains the most activated form of vitamin D, cholecalciferol, in low doses so you can take advantage of vitamin D3-supporting thyroid benefits while also allowing you to combine it safely with higher doses of vitamin D as needed.
- Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl succinate) 33.5 mg – Vitamin E helps protect the integrity of your cell membranes and acts as a powerful antioxidant, which may indirectly help improve thyroid function.
*Note on iodine: Some people believe that iodine is harmful for those with thyroid conditions, but this is 100% incorrect. Iodine cannot be created by the body, and it is required for thyroid hormone production. Doses of iodine between 100 mcg and 300 mcg have been proven to be safe, effective, and even therapeutic for thyroid patients (including those with Hashimoto’s). The iodine in T3 Conversion Booster is complemented with selenium to protect against iodine-induced thyroid damage.
Why Dr. Childs Recommends It
“T3 is the most important thyroid hormone in your body. As a thyroid patient, you should put most of your effort and energy into improving T3 levels if you want to feel better!
T3 Conversion Booster was specifically formulated to help your body create more of that powerful thyroid hormone naturally. And because so many thyroid patients aren’t converting well, enhancing this process is a no-brainer for just about every thyroid patient.“

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be taken if I’m already taking thyroid medication?
Yes! T3 Conversion Booster was designed to be used with all thyroid medications, including those that contain T3 like Cytomel and liothyronine, and formulations of NDT like Armour Thyroid, NP Thyroid, and Adthyza.
For best results, take it 30-60 minutes away from your thyroid medication (either before or after).
Will it increase my free T3 levels?
In short, maybe, but not always.
In general, thyroid support supplements typically do not have a big impact on thyroid lab tests, especially when compared to prescription thyroid medications.
This is because they each contain different ingredients, and each has a different mechanism of action.
Thyroid medications typically have a bigger impact on thyroid lab test levels like TSH, free T3, free T4, and reverse T3.
Thyroid support supplements like T3 conversion boosters tend to work more at the cellular level, which impacts symptoms but doesn’t always impact thyroid lab test results.
This isn’t always the case, though, as some people do see changes to their lab tests when using these types of supplements.
But because of the reasons listed above, the best way to determine if it’s working for you is by evaluating how you are feeling, not your thyroid lab tests.
Can I use it if I have hyperthyroidism?
T3 Conversion Booster is considered a low thyroid support supplement, so you generally would not want to take it if you are in a state of thyroid overactivity or hyperthyroidism.
Having said that, there are a few situations where it may make sense to use low thyroid support if you have been labeled with hyperthyroidism:
#1. If your thyroid has been surgically removed. If your thyroid has been removed, then you are considered to be hypothyroid even if the reason for the removal was due to hyperthyroidism.
#2. If your thyroid has been ablated with radioactive iodine. If your thyroid has been ablated, then you are considered to be hypothyroid even if the reason for the ablation was due to hyperthyroidism.
#3. If you are undergoing block and replace therapy or add-back therapy for hyperthyroidism.
Block and replace therapy is an uncommon treatment used in some situations where a patient with hyperthyroidism will take both thyroid medication like levothyroxine as well as thyroid blocking medication like methimazole.
If you are undergoing this kind of treatment (which is uncommon), then you can consider thyroid support supplements as well.
In general, if you are using thyroid-blocking thyroid medication like methimazole, then you probably shouldn’t use T3 Conversion Booster.
On the other hand, if you are taking any sort of thyroid medication replacement like levothyroxine (or any others), then you can consider using T3 Conversion Booster.
Can I take it if my reverse T3 levels are elevated?
Absolutely!
If you are trying to lower reverse T3 levels, then focusing on free T3 makes a lot of sense.
Here’s why:
Your body has the option to turn T4 into either T3 or reverse T3. When you push the pathway down the T4 to the T3 route, you will necessarily reduce how much T4 is available for reverse T3 production.
In other words, anything that decreases T4 to reverse T3 conversion will increase free T3, and anything that increases T4 to T3 conversion will decrease reverse T3.
Is it still helpful if my thyroid has been removed or ablated?
Yes! T3 Conversion booster is still beneficial to those without a thyroid and for those with a nonfunctioning thyroid gland (those who have undergone RAI).
The reason is simple:
Even if you don’t have a thyroid gland, you still need to produce T3, and because thyroid conversion occurs outside of the thyroid gland, it doesn’t really matter if your thyroid is present or not.
It can be argued that T3 Conversion Booster is even more important for those who no longer have a thyroid gland because they are all almost exclusively taking T4-only thyroid medications like levothyroxine, which require conversion to become active.
Can I take it if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
T3 Conversion Booster contains two ingredients that can sometimes be problematic for those who are pregnant: vitamin A and ashwagandha.
These aren’t necessarily harmful, but you will get differing opinions on their use during pregnancy, depending on who you are talking to.
For this reason, we always recommend that you get approval from your ob/gyn or midwife (or whoever is caring for you during pregnancy) prior to using any supplement, including this one.
Will it still work if I’m not taking thyroid medication?
Yep! You don’t need to be taking thyroid medication in order for T3 Conversion Booster to be beneficial.
It just so happens that most people who take it are already taking thyroid medication as well, but there are plenty of people who aren’t, and they have had success using it.
If this supplement is so great, then why doesn’t my doctor know about it?
Great question!
We’d all like to believe that our doctors are 100% up to date on the latest research as it pertains to all aspects of our health and thyroid, but that just isn’t the case.
If they were, then we wouldn’t have an epidemic of unhappy thyroid patients who still struggle with low thyroid symptoms despite taking their thyroid medication and doing everything else correctly.
For now, the existing thyroid treatment paradigm leaves a lot to be desired, which means extra help outside of traditional medications and treatments is often needed.
These treatments, in the form of supplements and lifestyle changes, are only necessary for those people who are not feeling 100% right now.
If you are someone who is not experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, pain, depression, and so on, then you’d have no need to use thyroid support supplements like T3 Conversion Booster.
But if you are like many other thyroid patients out there who are still suffering, then it would be worth considering!
Will using this supplement cause my T3 levels to be too high?
Nope!
Instead of containing T3 thyroid hormone, T3 Conversion Booster contains natural ingredients that help your body produce a healthy level of T3.
This means that there is never a risk of overproducing T3 and that it can be added to medications that contain T3.
How do you take it?
The recommended dose is 2 capsules taken each day (with or without food) before noon and at least 30-60 minutes away from your thyroid medication (if you take any).
At 2 capsules each day, this supplement will provide you with a 60-day supply.
What’s the difference between T3 Conversion Booster and T3 thyroid medication?
Unlike Cytomel and liothyronine, which contain T3 thyroid hormone, T3 Conversion Booster contains all-natural ingredients in the form of vitamins and botanical ingredients.
How long should I take T3 Conversion booster?
T3 Conversion Booster can be taken indefinitely, and I recommend using it for as long as it is helping you feel better.
How long does it take to work?
Thyroid function is slow to respond when compared to other hormone systems in the body.
It takes 6 weeks of daily use of any thyroid hormone or thyroid support supplement before your body will reach a steady state, which means it will take at least this long before you start noticing a difference in how you feel.
After 6 weeks, you will start to see some improvement, but it may take several months for you to feel its full effects.
How do I know if it’s working?
The best way is to pay attention to how you are feeling! Most people know it’s working because they feel an increase in energy, an improvement in well-being, and an improvement in their thyroid symptoms.
What type of improvement you may experience depends largely on how your thyroid is impacting your overall health.
Each person has a slightly different set of symptoms, so how they respond to T3 Conversion Booster will vary as a result of this.
Do I need to test my T3 or thyroid before using it?
No, getting your T3 tested is not required before using this supplement. Having said that, you are certainly welcome to do that if you’d like!
Are there any side effects?
Over the last 8 years, tens of thousands of thyroid patients have used T3 Conversion Booster, and it is generally very well tolerated.
Yes! In addition, it does NOT contain wheat, gluten, yeast, soy protein, dairy products, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or artificial preservatives.
Is the iodine in this supplement safe to take?
Yes! T3 Conversion Booster has been used by thousands of patients with Hashimoto’s without any issues. I formulated T3 Conversion Booster with a small dose of iodine accompanied by selenium to protect against any iodine-related issues.
Remember: Iodine is required by all humans because we can’t produce it on our own, and we need it for thyroid hormone production. The key to using iodine safely is to use the right dose and combine it with selenium. This supplement was specifically formulated to meet these requirements, which is why it is quite safe.
Each serving of T3 Conversion Booster contains 75mcg of Iodine, which is well below the recommended high range of iodine intake of 300mcg per day.
How does shipping work?
All domestic orders receive free shipping regardless of price. Orders are typically processed within 1 business day, are shipped out via USPS Ground Advantage, and typically arrive within 1-3 business days.
We also offer intentional shipping to most countries! International orders ship free if the order value is greater than $250 USD. Otherwise, the price of shipping is calculated on the checkout page. We primarily use USPS for international shipments.
