Experiences with

Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT)

Hi all I well aware of taking magnesium 4 hours after taking levothyroxine and NDT. My usual combo dose of levo and NDT was taken each morning....magnesium four hours later. Now I take levo only in the morning and NDT in the afternoon.

I would like to return on ndt or ndt + levo, I still don't know, I'll see. My body doesn't like synthetics, I've tried in every way. Last time I couldn't find ndt and I jumped back on levo and t3. I'd like to find a ndt like nature-throid was.

I have tried only ndt in the past but I have had some intolerable side effects(fast pulse, weight gain, anxiety, heating perspiration, etc), So I thought about a mix. However, on ndt I felt much more human than on t3 so i'd like to try. I have some thai-ndt.

What would be the equivelent Levo amount to replace like for like of 1 grain NDT please? Or at least to cover the T4 part of NDT? Ever struggling.....every best wish, G

Please please, if anyone could let me know where they get their NDT from I’d be so grateful? Private message only please as sources aren’t allowed to be openly named on the forum. I just wondered if anyone could PM me where they get their NDT from?

I would like to decrease to 100 levo + some ndt and keep the t3 dose. I don't know how much ndt to replace the 25 levo dose. I thought about a 1/4 dose in the morning and 1/4 in the afternoon. It's ok?

Hello People I recently switched to NDT and wonder if the time window between vitamins & NDT is the same as with Levo ie 2h with all vitamins (iron, vit B etc) and Vit D which is 4h? Thank you

My TR Mann Thai NDT expired March 2022.I'm waiting for Thyroid S. Has anyone any thoughts on how long NDT is active if kept in a cool dark place?I'm sure I remember some posts awhile back suggesting they are probably OK for up to 6 months.

It isn’t going to be possible to contact them all and I want to ask GP to refer me (she doesn’t approve of me taking NDT, says I’m going to get heart disease and osteoporosis and has basically washed her hands of me! But NDT has enabled me to have a life, so I’m not giving it up!)

These are my results after switching from NDT to Synthroid 125 mcg and 5mcg Liothyrinine. I felt terrible and gained 8 lbs in 4 weeks. Looks like my Reverse T3 surged and is high. The “previous result”column indicates levels when on 90 mg of Armour NDT and 5 mcg Liothyrinine. Thoughts?

So, could anyone sourcing their own NDT please private message me with how I can continue on NDT without a prescription and what the costs are. I am in the UK. Many thanks

I just wondered if anyone could PM me where they get their NDT from? My usual supplier has become incredibly expensive since Naturethroid (and the others) became unavailable. I remember someone mentioning Thai NDT being cheaper? I'm really struggling to afford Armour. Thanks in advance.

I just want to ask someone if it is common for someone taking NDT to have TSH in a range? I had total thyroidectomy in 2017. I didn't feel well on Levo that's why I switched to NDT.

Looking for information regarding NDT suppliers. Please advise by private message. Many Thanks

I was over active 4 weeks ago so was cut from 1 1/2 grains of armour (NDT) to 1 grain. I struggle to go over a grain as I get terrible heart palps, also as soon as I up my NDT my t3 goes over range as it is quite high already. I am unsure whether to add in 25mg of levo (tirosint) or what really.

I would be grateful for information re NDT suppliers. I understand that the cheapest supplier is in Thailand but not sure if this is still available. Would appreciate feedback on suppliers, reliability, necessity of prescription etc. Many thanks

Can anyone tell me if NDT is available in Cyprus please?

I was happily on armor for over 20 years a few years ago my GP retired and since then I've been on levothyroxine, gained a lot of weight and felt quite miserable, so I've finally decided it's time to get back on a NDT I'm quite open to which one please message me any recommendations of a particular brand

Blood drawn in the morning, before breakfast or medication, last dose of NDT taken day before in the morning... TSH 0.01 ( 0.27-4.2) T4 10.7 ( 12-22 ) T3 4.41 ( 3.1-6.8) So, TSH almost non existent, which I understand is not a problem if on NDT... But what about this T4?

plus for 4 months NDT plus i will need to switch to armour which i’ve not done well on, or NP which is even more expensive.
