Most conventional thyroid prescriptions like Synthroid or levothyroxine only contain T4, the inactive form of thyroid hormone. The assumption is that your body will convert that T4 into the active form, T3. But for many people—especially those with Hashimoto’s, autoimmune issues, or sluggish thyroid function—that conversion simply doesn’t happen efficiently.
And that’s where natural thyroid medication comes in.
What Is Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT)?
Natural thyroid medications, such as Armour® Thyroid, NP Thyroid®, and Nature-Throid®, are made from desiccated (dried) pig thyroid glands. They contain both T4 and T3, along with trace hormones like T2, T1, and calcitonin—components your own thyroid naturally produces.
For patients who don’t feel well on T4-only meds, this more holistic blend can make a world of difference.
Why Patients Choose Natural Thyroid Meds
✅ More complete support – Balanced T4 and T3 levels
✅ Better symptom control – More stable energy, improved mood, and better focus
✅ Supports weight loss – Especially when fatigue and slow metabolism are an issue
✅ Hair & skin improvements – Fewer issues with hair loss, dryness, and brittle nails
