Hello all,
I hope you are all doing well and getting the answers needed from this amazing forum.
Asking for a friend:
I just need to ask how much T4 is in one 300 ‘grain’ of Thyro- Gold? I emailed Tammy Lowe and she’s only put the T3 form and I don’t want to bother her again. Google wasn’t very helpful, so I was wondering if anyone knew - exactly as I can’t find it in the search selection either.
Anyone?
Thanks in advance.
As Thyro gold is classed as an over-the-counter product it doesn't have to provide certain details. Other NDTs like Armour etc have to state. This is from Tammy whose deceased husband (an Adviser to TUK) invented this in order that people weren't prevented from at least trying it and didn't need a prescription.
"Question: I have read your entire website, and I don't clearly see the specific breakout of the hormones T4 and T3. Can you provide that information or do you even know what they are? How are people suppose to know how much of the Thyro-Gold to take? [Katie - April 2015]
Tammy: Hi Katie. Most over-the-counter products that are classified as dietary supplements do not need to provide the breakout of the hormones. They simply need to label the product with the amount of thyroid powder that is included in the capsules. For this reason, we do not list the incremental breakout of the T4/T3 on the website. You can contact me personally via email or phone and I can help you determine what dosage would be appropriate for you. "

"Question: Dear Tammy, I am interested in purchasing Thyro-Gold but I don't know what dosage to start with. Can you offer any advice about the dosing? [Cindy in Arizona - November 2013]
Tammy: Dear Cindy. It is suggested to start with our 150mg if someone has never been on thyroid hormone before. Taking one capsule daily - on an empty stomach for two weeks will provide the best response. After two weeks a person can decide if they need to increase and if they do, then adding another capsule to their daily intake is recommended.
Question: Dear Tammy, There is a lot of confusion on the web forums about single dosing versus split dosing. What are your thoughts? [Jerry in Massachusetts - January 2013]?
Tammy: My advice is to follow Dr. Lowe's which was advocating single dosing. The reason is to ensure the best absorption. If someone has low stomach acid, their food may not digest properly or completely within the 1-3 hour digestion window. Therefore, if someone takes all of their thyroid hormone one hour prior to eating -they can have more certainty that the powder wilwl be absorbed and not attach to undigested food lingering in their stomach.

Keep an eye on your pulse/temp when beginning and, as suggested, an increase every two weeks also noting relief of symptoms. If either pulse/temp goes too high drop to previous dose.
Thank you Shaws,
I read the info on the website which was why I came here in case anyone else knew. I didn’t want to disturb Mrs Lowe again as I said. As she gave me details for T3 but not T4. The situation was that my friend had lost her Thyro- Gold and I was trying to help with substitutes in the mean time, hence my question.
Thanks again for the information you’ve supplied.
I was under the impression (but could be wrong!) that 300 "grains" is the same as 3 grains of NTD. Each grain of NDT usually is around 28 T4 and 9 T3. IT is not a straight conversion with Thyroxine as your body is converting some T4 to T3 (in theory!). Hope this helps.
Thank you Serenfach,
I was under the impression it was 38 T4 and 9 T3. But this may be another brand.
I guess an approximation of 33 would help be better than over guesstimating.

You are right - fat fingers here typed it wrong and did not read what I had typed, partly because the cat was being sick on my foot. Sorry!
Limps off to find some tissue...
Hello Serenfach!
Poor cat! 😂 Thank you for letting me know. I’ve found it with the help of Rslnhwt below!
I hope you have wet wipes too!

Does this help?

Hello,
It does immensely. I was hoping this ratio was correct as some say T4 to T3 ratio is 3 and some 4!
I think I’ve got some Dithyron which is the same minus the extra Ts and Calcitonin. Until the T-G arrives.
Thank you so so much,
Ebony
