What about bovine thyroid?

There is a product in my country made by Solaray that contains bovine thyroid. Says it does not contain thyroxin. What do you think?

My last results on 88 euthyrox:

Tsh 0.79 (0.38-5.33)

Ft4 0.96 (0.61-1.12)

Ft3 2.75 (2.30-4.20)

I can't speak for your country, but the bovine NDT from New Zealand is well-regarded. It looks from the ingredients you list, that this product does contain thyroid gland, if that's what is meant by Extract din Tiroida. It is a supplement, and not a prescription NDT, and contains (I think) copper and iodine, neither of which are recommended without medical necessity and oversight.

It is a multivitamin with some "thyroid substance" whatever that may be.

It contains magnesium oxide which is the least absorbable form of magnesium, zinc which you may or may not need (as with copper) and iodine which should not be supplemented unless tested and found to be deficient and then only under the supervision of a qualified practioner. Not a good idea to take this supplement.

As far as I know, only Nutri meds Bovine thyroid, Metavive, Thyrogold and Thyrovanz contain any hormones so would be worth taking.

Hello Ilenuca

I too am with Graves and post RAI some 12 years.

I am now taking NDT - natural desiccated thyroid -

I notice you are only on T4 - maybe you could consider a T3 + T4 combo - I read this can help people with Graves after RAI - or alternatively, depending on where you are, there is also NDT - from pigs - I've been on this now some 3 months and am so much better and more stable than on monotherapy with T4 .

Take good care
