Thyroid Hormones Wondering Which One Is The Best ? Dr Hagmeyer Explains
There is a lot of debate about which thyroid medicine you should take. There are those who say that synthetic medications, like Synthroid are superior. You also have those who say that natural medications, like Armour are always better. Both sides go to extremes in claiming the superiority of their medication and the inferiority of the competitor. What is the difference between synthetic and natural thyroid medications?
The main difference is what they are made from. Synthetic thyroid medications are made from levothyroxine sodium while natural thyroid medications are made from dessicated pig thyroid. The other major difference is what thyroid hormones they contain.
Most synthetic thyroid medicines, like Synthroid, contain only T4. The natural medications, like Armour contain both T4 and T3. There is a synthetic T3 medication available called Cytomel.
Some people take both a synthetic T4 and a synthetic T3 medication to get both thyroid hormones. There is also one synthetic thyroid medication that contains both T4 and T3 called Thyrolar.
