Finding a reliable source of T3

5 years ago•1 Reply

I have just started taking T3 alongside NDT and so far all is going well but I am not yet optimised on it and am already starting to run out. This is obviously a worry as I am self-medicating and am not under a Doctor or Endo on the NHS or Private. The brand I have just started using is UniPharma from Greece which I seem to be doing okay on. I have heard that the supplier who comes up online that sells this is not reliable and so I need to find a reliable supplier urgently either online or by travelling somewhere in Europe within reason to buy it direct. I am based in the UK. Please can anyone who has a reliable supplier PM me direct with some information. I can't believe that we have to be stressed over getting a medication that is essential to a lot of us! It is a real concern... Many thanks in advance.

If anyone can help, please reply by private message as requested as we can't name suppliers on the forum. I will close the post to replies so that no information is posted here.

Clara4741 As a precaution, you may wish to check with myself or another one of the Admin team to see if we have feedback on any recommendations you are sent, there are some known unscrupulous suppliers.

T3 is supposed to be prescription only in Greece now so even if you travel to Greece or one of the islands there's no guarantee of being able to buy it over the counter. A few people have been fortunate to find the odd pharmacy willing to sell one packet, but it's not as easily obtainable as it used to be.
