For decades, doctors have prescribed T4-only for hypothyroid (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothyroxine, etc.) But Natural Desiccated Thyroid Hormones (e.g. Naturethroid, Armour)is FAR superior.
I made a switch to desiccated thyroid with MIRACULOUS results. www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/my-story The same is true for a growing body of patients, including Graves patients who later become hypo.
Unlike T4-only, desiccated thyroid gives what your own thyroid makes: T4,T3,T2,T1 (iodine based) calcitonin. It rids lingering hypo symptoms including HIGH CHOLESTEROL, DEPRESSION, weight gain, poor stamina, etc.
Desiccated thyroid is a UPS product (US PHARMACOPOEIA).
