Anyone try Grass Fed Natural Desiccated Thyroid?

[dbrowning02]

I got back my result but for some reason my THS was not included, going back to have this taken this week that is why I haven't posted results yet. All my other ranges are on low side so was looking at natural ways to up without raising my meds, anyone try this with any luck? Wasn't going to start anything till I posted my results and consulted with you fine, knowledgeable people😁.

What exactly do you call 'meds'? Levo? Levo isn't a drug, it's a hormone, T4. It may be synthetic, but it's exactly the same as the T4 made by your thyroid.

By 'grass-fed NDT' I imagine you mean bovine glandulars? These have no guaranteed hormone content. And are a rather hit and miss way to taking thyroid hormone replacement - they might help and they might not.

Why don't you want to increase your levo?

I take Armour 120mg 1x day. I guess I consider this meds because I get it from the pharmacist but I guess you are right this is natural.

It's about as natural as you're going to get.

I take bovine glandulars called thyrogold. I find it helpful and reasonably consistent.

Do you mean Metavive? I have recently started taking it along with my T Man and I rather like it.

No this product is Ancestral Supplements thyroid made from pasture raised, grass fed and finished New Zealand cows.

Metavive is the British Pig thyroid gland also made by Procepts I think.

I take Thyrogold once in the morning and Standard Process Thytrophin PMG in the late afternoon and I'm golden. I need to keep Mg levels up always especially if there's more stress or work load. Taking the Mg helps keep my dose of NDT very low, 1/4 grain.

Thank you. Like Greygoose mentioned why do you use supplements and not up your NDT since it's a natural medication?

It would have to be bovine as any pig fed only grass would not live long. I am a bit worried about the supplies of pocine NDT from Thailand as China is in the grip of Swine Fever and are losing most of their pigs. But that is another story....
