News about a healthy thyroid!

Nature’s Thyroid, Westhroid and Armour Thyroid are all the same. For those of who have taken Armour Thyroid, Westhroid or Natures Thyroid hopefully you understand this is a combination of t3 and these products are very similar, just made from different companies. One (1) grain of Natures Thyroid is considered 65 milligrams of medicine, which includes 9 micrograms of t3 (Liothyronine) and 38 mcg of t4 (levothyroxine).

Natures Thyroid was the first product that RLC Labs developed but since then they have upgraded Natures Thyroid to be more pure meaning it has less additives. The name of the more pure formulation is called WP Thyroid. For a period of time the new formulation was called Westhroid Pure but with pharmacist missing the word “pure” and giving straight Westrhoid, WP Thyroid was created and is equal to Westhroid Pure. WP Thyroid is the new latest, greatest and purest form of Natures Thyroid, so it may work faster and be better tolerated than others.

Please understand that t3 is not sustained in the body for a full 24 hours, so many patients require 2 x a day dosing of t3 in order to maintain steady leaves of t3. As a side note for all you pregnant woman, make sure you keep both t3 and t4 levels on the higher side of normal for a healthy and smarter baby! Check them at least twice during pregnancy.

While we are on the topic of thyroid, make sure you take iodine, selenomethionine and adrenal support (especially if your t3 is low). Also, in addition to getting tested for your food allergies please make sure to get your autoimmune markers checked for thyroid and to check your adrenals and to keep them in check!

Lastly if you have heard of Goitrogenic vegetables affecting thyroid, you are right; however if you take enough iodine you should be okay!

So come in and get your testing done and don’t forget to pick up your iodine, selenium and adrenal support today!
