How much T3 (as in cytomel mcg) is in 1 Gram of Nature thyroid?
by Liz118, Jan 14, 2009 04:48PM
My doc wants to switch me to a time released version of T3 called Nature thyroid. He wants me to start on 1 Gram/day. It may have T4 in it also, I can't seem to get that info. He also gave me some levoxyl to use as well although I do not know the dose now because it is getting filled at the pharmacy.
I am on 15 mcg of cytomel only now. I am worried that there is not enough T3 in the new meds and I will crash when I switch and go off cytomel. Does anyone know the conversion rates to see how much of the Nature thyroid I would need to get enough T3?
Thanks

That's the thing I can't seem to find out. It seems like when I look on the web that it is another form of Armour thyroid. It's hard to figure out for sure, though
Thanks
OR - Print out the information from the Armour site and take it to the pharmacist. Have them compare the 2 meds and see if this is just another form.
When I frist got into reading about Armour I kinda remember this name Nature thyroid coming up. I am pretty sure is is a T4/T3 combo medication. It was never an option for me - so I didn't get into it much at all.
I think your pharmacist will know for sure.
As it turns out it is pretty much the same as armour. It has 9 mcg of T3 in it. I get it stright from the doctor but I looked online and finally found the info
Thanks!
What kind of doctor dispenses PERSCRIPTION drugs from his/her office? Does this doctor have a medical degree?
Maybe I misunderstood your statement...

1 grain Nature Throid equals 25 mcg Cytomel. There is a chart in the link.
Thanks for the info. Yes, I get the prescription at my doctor's office. He carries nature-throid there because he specializes in thyroid/endocrine/autoimmune problems, so he uses it a lot.
Maybe he has a deal with a compounding pharmacy? The supplement is called nature-throid, but it is the same as nature thyroid. I did confirm with the doc that it is 9 mcg of t3
Thanks!
