thyroid.about.com/library/d... although the reference to 25 mcg L-T3 is wrong, it should be about 35 mcg.

RLC Labs state 1 grain of NatureThroid is equivalent to 100mcg Levothyroxine. This may be a 'safe' equivalent level and it may actually be more like 75mcg. It's best to take one grain and increase after 3/4 weeks to 1 1/4 grain if necessary.

Hi Anuba, you may want to start a little slower than a full grain just to see how it is going to affect you. I'm thinking you will note some wonderful changes.
