Has anyone tried both of these and found one is better than the other.?

Also what is the difference both are T4 no?

Thanks folks

Tirosint?

Tirosint is a gel capsule with minimal ingredients : Levothyroxine Sodium, Gelatin, Glycerin, Water

Levothyroxine tablets all contain excipients - fillers, binders, sweeteners of some description.

You can see the list of ingredients for the different brands in the pdf linked to from ThyroidUK's main website

Tyrosine is an amino acid which is one of the precursors of thyroid hormones - it is not T4. It won't do any good if your thyroid is not able to make hormones on its own. Perhaps you meant tirosint (liquid T4).

Absolutely meant Tirosint. I seem to react very very badly to all the other stuff in Thyroid meds.
