Tanomi,

NutriMeds make thyroid supplements which are available over the counter. If the supplement is no longer available try NutriThyroid or Google "Thyroid Supplement".

Thanks. I tried that. I only found bovine not porcine. Nutrimeds makes a bovine version but it did not suit me.

I have been told thete are dessicated porcine thyroid glandular from thailand you can order without a prescription. Is that so?

[helvella Administrator in reply to Tanomi]

Yes. Thiroyd, Thyroid S and TRMan.

All available only in one grain tablets. All supposed to be similar in strength to the USA prescription desiccated thyroid products.

Today, I talked to a sales rep at a UK based company called The Natural Choice. They used to sell Nutri-Meds porcine thyroid, but now only sell a product deemed to be its exact equivalent. It's called Metavive and, like Nutri-Meds, is available OTC as it's a supplement and not a drug (not intended to prevent or cure any disease).

This is what I found out from our conversation:

Nutri-Meds no longer manufacture Porcine Thyroid at all; it was taken off the market about 15 months ago and is not coming back. The reason is mainly that there is a general shortage of porcine thyroid, and it seems most of the raw material available in North America (US and Canada) is being sold to pharmaceutical companies manufacturing prescription NDT drugs. Bovine thyroid, on the other hand, is available in abundance from both New Zealand and Argentina, which is why there are several bovine thyroid supplements available OTC in North America, but no longer any supplements containing porcine thyroid.

The sales rep told me they don't ship to North America because of differences in our respective legal systems; it's all about liability and insurance issues. For that reason, they are only able to ship to European countries.

I hope this information will prove useful to members in the US and Canada who were previously on porcine thyroid supplements but are now unable to find any suppliers.

PS. I guess this also answers a question I have been asking myself for quite some time: why the late Dr. Lowe, who undoubtedly knew more about thyroid disease and treatment than most doctors, chose bovine rather than porcine thyroid to create Thyrogold:
