- Bile salts facilitate 80% of T4-to-T3 thyroid hormone conversion, primarily in the liver. — Bile Salts Contraindications
- T4 is the inactive storage form of thyroid hormone and T3 is the active form that drives metabolism. — Bile Salts Contraindications
- In hyperthyroidism, bile salt supplementation is contraindicated because it further increases T4-to-T3 conversion and amplifies the already-excessive hormonal state. — Bile Salts Contraindications
- In hypothyroidism, bile salt supplementation may be beneficial because sluggish bile production could contribute to poor T4-to-T3 conversion. — Bile Salts Contraindications
