Thyroid LevelTreatment of low thyroid hormone levels involves nutritional and hormonal interventions. It is important to make sure that you have adequate selenium, vitamin A and iodine so that the thyroid hormone can be made and converted from the less active T4 to the more active T3. You also need to reduce stress levels so that the demand for cortisol is reduced and the conversion to more active T3 instead of inactive reverseT3 can take place.

hi,
Thyroid gland is an endocrine gland which secretes two types of hormones, T3 and T4. These hormones are concerned with the regulation of metabolism in human body. The under activity of these hormones results in hypothyroidism while hyperthyroidism, is an outcome of over-activity of T3 and T4 hormones. The levels of T3 and T4 in the body are determined by another hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). This hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. As the name suggests, TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete T3 and T4. Hence, when the level of TSH increases, it directly implies that the thyroid gland is not functioning properly. On the other hand, when the level of TSH falls down below normal level, it is an indication of hyperactivity of thyroid gland.
The normal thyroid level for TSH for labs is 0.5 to 5.5.normalthyroidlevels.info
