Please can anyone tell me what are the dosage difference in Nature-Throid . Erfa is out of stock have been for awhile. The price is almost doubled. Would this hormone be the same dosage as Erfa thinking of trying it. Thank you.

I did that swap 2 years ago. I did a straight swap, taking the same of Nature Throid as I had of Erfa. You then need to see how you feel and adjust slightly if necessary. They may be absorbed differently by you.

This page has the details if you go to the bar labelled 'Non-UK dessicated thyroid'

Mistcat,

Erfa has 35mcg T4 and 8mcg T3. NatureThroid and other brands have 38mcg T4 and 9mcg T3.
