NP Thyroid

[Danoute]

Anyone ver tried it or have any experience of it?!

Seems like a good hypoallergenic option that is quite easily purchased. Interested to hear people's thoughts. Cheers

I haven't heard of this one Danoute - can you please say more about it. Thanks

You need to visit the main Thyroid UK web site's page on Thyroid Hormone Replacements where it gives details of that product along with details of many other thyroid hormone products:

many thanks Rod - I had looked carefully at the thyroid UK site link but hadn't spotted the NP - looks interesting - much appreciated.

Hi again thanks for educating me - hope you soon have an answer to your original post interesting possible treatment.

I tried it and it seemed great. (Though I did yo-yo and once asleep could sleep for 12 hours or so)

Anyway I recently ran out but some T3 (Cynomel) arrived so decided to try that and I seem to be doing well on that too. Fingers crossed.

Didn't know whether NP was considered well amongst forum users. I read a lot of positive stuff about it. Meant to be be of the better ones since the original Armor.

I am not too happy about the mineral oil...are there any risks associated with it? I know Armour contained some too, until it was reformulated for the first time (although not so dramatically...) in the mid 1990s...
