Do we need T4 if we get T3 in a supplement?

Hi everyone
Many of you have been helping me through a rough patch regarding my attempt to switch from cytomel (T3 only) to naturethroid. At this point I am wondering if I actually need the T4. Is there something important about T4 other than the fact that it is turned into T3?
Thanks

Hi Stella
Do you mean that it insures that the conversion will be smooth as far as quantity, etc?
Thanks

It's a stabilizer for the conversion process.
