tirosint and Metavive 111

[Ummazzam_01]

has anyone been taking Tirosint instead of Levo? How did it work for you ?

Has anyone taken Metavive 111 n felt better ?

I've tried Tirosint-SOl and the capsules. It works like the Levo tablets except that its bioavailability is something like 98-100% unlike the 80% in tablets so it may increase your FT4 levels. It was so potent I had to take a lower dose. Overall I think Tirosint is an excellent brand. I don't take it now because I'm adjusting my Levo doses and didn't have any Tirosint in lower doses so that's why I'm not taking it.

Effectively unavailable in the UK. If obtained through a specialist importer, it would be very expensive.

Widely available across EU/EEA countries. Though the name varies.

Be aware of the difference between Tirosint-SOL and Tirosint.

Tirosint-SOL doesn't even have a gelatin capsule!

Are Tyrosint gel capsules the same as T Caps? Is the absorption for Tirosint better than a liquid levo?

No idea about howe absorption compares.

More info. in my medicines document - am going out in a minute so very quick reply.

I have created, and try to maintain, a document containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world. It is sectioned by UK - rest of the world, and by T4, T3, desiccated thyroid, etc.

And do keep up to date. I edit it frequently - sometimes trivially, sometimes extensively. If your copy is more than a few weeks old, please download it again. (You must download - not just view in a browser - for the Table of Contents to work.)
