What Is the Natural Equivalant of Synthroid?

Natural Equivalant of Synthroid?

Desiccated thyroid, also called thyroid extract, is sometimes used as an alternative to synthetic thyroid hormones (like Synthroid and thyroxine). This contains two biologically active hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) unlike most other thyroid-hormone preparations. Some studies have shown it to be more effective as a result of the combination. Check with your doctor though to make sure this would be acceptable for your problem.
