T4

I know T4 is weaker then T3. I have heard its about 4 times weaker. However do they both have the same exact effects for fat loss?

No. T4 must be converted to T3. The majority of this conversion takes place in the liver, however when one is dieting, the conversion rate is greatly reduced. Therefore taking a lot of T4 could end up just reducing your natural thyroid output and putting you in a worse position than you started at. Take T3. It's a direct route to increasing metabolism. If you need dosing, tapering, etc. schedules let me know.
