Help ! I’ve only been on Nature Throid for 2 months after 20 long & wasted years on Levothyroxine- now I can’t get hold of any Nature Throid ? Can someone please advise me urgently ?

There are several other brands of NDT available. The Thai brands are popular, don't need a prescription, are cheaper than NDT from other countries, and work well for many people.

Do you know who manufactures for the Thai brands please ? Are they safe ?

The manufacturers of mine are rlclabs.com/about.php

But I’ve had to pay £14. Something import tax PLUS postage -

Avidreader,

There's a shortage of NatureThroid as RLC have only recently started shipping 1 grain tablets since they upgraded their lab in September. Pharmacies have been limiting how much people can buy but they've been running out as they fulfil backorders. If your usual suppliers can't supply NatureThroid you may want to try an alternative brand of NDT until RLC normal service resumes.

Thanks for this - my pharmacy has also said there’s no ERFA WHICH is the replacement my endo has given me prescription for ?

I’ve also read some people get itchy with the fillers in ERFA ?

Avidreader,

There have been shortages of Erfa on and off throughout the year. People can have allergies to any of the fillers in different brands of NDT which is why NatureThroid and WP are so popular due to being hypoallergenic. Unfortunately there is no WP either at the moment.

Hi Avidreader , could you share your experience with the switch to Nature Thyroid. How is the dosage calculated . I am keen to experiment with the natural form myself and looking for feedback. Thanks

I paid to see a private Endocrinologist- who I heard was more sympathetic to people like myself who had never felt better on Levothyroxine-

He has given me my dose - just 2 months now on Nature Throid

But I really believe the turning point for me was reading The Thyroid Connection by Amy Myers ! The auto immune regime has changed my life ! But it’s really restricted 😘 and I work in the food biz !

I’m

Due to have blood tests soon to see how I’m doing on Nature Throid - but there a shortage so I’m

Starting to panic !

Hi Avidreader, I have been taking Nature Throid for a year and because of the shortage, last week, I ordered NP Thyroid to try. It has arrived today.

I have heard it is stronger so I may drop the dose I take from 3 grains to 2 1/2 grains at first.

Hi Rose,

I've been on NatureThroid for two years and I'm fast running out of it. Got just over a weeks supply left. Could you send me a private message with details of where you ordered NP Thyroid if you don't mind?

Cheers,

Suzie

I have no idea about all these differemt types & choices ! I find it all exhausting-after 20 years on Levothyroxine- what are the chances that the Nature Throid I try for two months runs out ! 😩everyone on here seems so

Informed - can you private message where you sourced NP & what it is ? Eg how it differs from Nature Throid ? I liked Nature Throid CIA it doesn’t seem to have any side effects - quite natural ? Thanks

Could anyone "private message" me with the info on how to purchase Nature Throid anywhere? My current supplier, HealthWarehouse, is completely out and called to tell me they have no idea when they will be restocked. Thank you to anyone that can help me! The Tee in Texas!

You're by the corner and ask pple from EU etc. Armour thyroid is produced in Florida.

You need a prescription. Good Luck
