Thyrogold is a product based on bovine desiccated thyroid.

Some people seem to do well on it; others move on as soon as possible.

For those in the UK, it can work out expensive. Dosing is not the same as other desiccated thyroid products.

As understand it, there is some hormone content in Thyrogold, but in order to keep it as a non-prescription product, the hormone content is not declared. I've heard you need to take a lot more Thyrogold than the prescription desiccated thyroid products, so that suggests it's hormone content is weaker. The list of ingredients can be found here. naturalthyroidsolutions.com...

This is from STTM posted three years ago:- Go to the No.61 to read one in particular although all post about their experiences of levo to NDT.

These are some past posts re Thyro Gold on the forum.

This is an extract from another page on STTM:

THYROGOLD, called a “dietary supplement” to meet FDA rules, though patients report it working very well. Was created by the now-deceased John C. Lowe, and his wife currently sells it. Comes in 150 mg and 300 mg tablets. The mgs is NOT equivalent to the same mgs in prescription NDT tablets. i.e. 150 mg may be “similar in effect” to 1 1/4 grains, but that’s a subjective opinion by some. The thyroid powder in the tablets are from New Zealand pasture-fed cows, plus there is 25 mg of Coleus forskohlii, which is said to promote thyroid function. It is a popular OTC product!

*More information on the use of BOVINE for religious reasons here.

I should have also stated that Thyro Gold was developed by Dr John Lowe who was also an Adviser to Thyroiduk.org.uk before his untimely death. It was made so that it didn't need a prescription and people could source it easily.
