For decades, doctors have prescribed T4-only for hypothyroid (Synthroid, Levothyroxine, Extroxin, etc.) But Natural Desiccated Thyroid is FAR superior, say patients, including those with Hashimotos, thyroid cancer or Graves patients who later become hypo.
Unlike T4-only, NDT, like your own thyroid, gives T4/T3/T2/T1 (iodine based) calcitonin, ridding lingering symptoms like HIGH CHOLESTEROL or BLOOD PRESSURE, DEPRESSION, WEIGHT GAIN, FATIGUE.
