Best NDT?

So I've decided I'm going to switch from levo to NDT. I'm going to ask my doctor if he'll prescribe it but as I am 99% sure he won't, I'll have to source it myself.

Can anyone give me any advice on the best NDT? Any side effects? Good or bad?

I have tried Nature Throid and N P Thyroid.

Much prefer NP as you can feel the effects quicker - minimal coating on the grains.

It’s all a bit subjective - and what works for one person doesn’t work for the other.

Lots of people on here are taking ones from Thailand.

Armour Thyroid gets bad press due to the cost and reformulation some years ago. Lots of people online moan about feeling dreadful on it.

I’m ok with Armour, but I think you need a prescription, and it’s expensive

Where do you get yours from? I've just looked on their own website and it says they can't guarantee delivery outside of US - I'm in UK. My local post office are a pain so don't want to risk customs getting them.

Hi I was on 125 Levo I take 175 TV at 7am and 50TV at 1pm so you would end up on about 200TV am and 50 TV 1pm but you must start off very very slowly coz your body not used to the T3 I done it gradually over 5/6 months felt hypo at first but stuck with it and now feel great. the customs charge is about £10-15

If you do have to pay the charges, it is 20% VAT (including VAT on the postage I believe) plus a Royal Mail handling fee of £8. So it depends on the total of your order how much the charge will be.
