What is the ndt you refer to on here?

NDT stands for natural desiccated thyroid hormone. It began with Armour brand over a century ago but there are now many other brands but they seem to be similar to Armour as far as potencies but with fillers unique to their own manufacturers. There is a list of them at STTM.

'Patients are returning to a medication that was successful from the late 1800’s onward: natural desiccated thyroid hormones (NDT). Most are made from pig glands, meet the stringent guidelines of the US Pharmacopoeia, and give patients exactly what their own thyroids give them—T4, T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin. It’s powerful and it works.

Additionally, patients who are working with certain wise doctors are not dosing by the TSH. Instead, they raise their desiccated thyroid (NDT) according to three criteria (and not in any particular order):

the elimination of symptoms

achieving a mid-afternoon temp of 98.6F/37C using a mercury thermometer, while maintaining a normal, healthy heartrate and BP, and

getting their free T3 towards the top of the range (in the presence of healthy adrenal function and optimal iron).

You can read a LOT more interesting information found nowhere else about natural desiccated thyroid in Chapter 2 of the revised STTM book.

Even adding synthetic T3 to your synthetic T4 is miles better than being on simply T4, report patients.
