Goodfamilymanvalues,

If you post your recent TSH, FT4 and FT3 results and ranges I can tell you whether or not you are optimally dosed on Levothyroxine.

For some people porcine and bovine work well but not for everyone.

Armour, NatureThroid, Erfa, Acella NP, Thyroid-S and Thiroyd are porcine NDT.

ThyroGold is bovine.

Not what you're looking for?
