Both are processed forms of animal thyroid.NDT has declared levels of thyroid hormones and is prescription only. It is not licensed for use in the UK. Doctors who prescribe it must take personal responsibility for its use.

Metavive has no declared thyroid hormone content. It is called a supplement and can be purchased with no prescription necessary.
