Guest guest Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 , Google 'Liothyronine ingredients' and then 'Cynomel Ingredients' and you should find answers there. Luv - Sheila HI ALL, Do any of you know what the ingredients are in Cynomel (from mexico) and the T3 (liothyronine) that the NHS provide. I include any fillers used etc. Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011  >>>would be very interested to hear from anyone who has maybe tried both or is doing well on liothyronine.<<< I did very well on liothyronine for a year. I then changed to Armour. Not because I didn't do well on the liothyronine but the private prescription stopped (Dr. moved hundreds of miles away) and it was just as easy, if not easier, to get the Armour without prescription than it was the T3.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 ...i still have this nagging feeling that ive gone from one synthetic med (levothyroxine to another being liothyronine) and that cytomel would be better for me because of its purity.... Hi Manda, ALL T3 products (except for the T3 in Natural Desiccated Thyroid) are synthetic – Cytomel, Cynomel, Iothyronine.... and I doubt if you could call either of them purer than the other. The only differences are the fillers. We are all different and our bodies tolerate (or not) some fillers better than others, but there is no `one fits all' product.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 There are tens of thousands of people doing well on Liothyronine (synthetic T3 NHS version) Manda. Liothyronine Sodium 20micrograms Tablets  Ingredients: Liothyronine Sodium Lactose, Maize Starch, Powdered Acacia, Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Stearate, Industrial Methylated Spirit, Purified Water. Cytomel: Each round, white to off-white Cytomel (liothyronine sodium) tablet contains liothyronine sodium equivalent to liothyronine as follows: 5 mcg debossed KPI and 115; 25 mcg scored and debossed KPI and 116; 50 mcg scored and debossed KPI and 117. Inactive ingredients consist of calcium sulfate, gelatin, starch, stearic acid, sucrose and talc. Both the above T3 products are synthetic. You need to give this a go Manda, but ensure that all your other nutrients are in the reference range where they should be. Start with a low dose and increase every 3 to 4 weeks.# Luv - Sheila x Hi, This does bother me alot, while i am pleased ive managed to get t3 of the gp.......i still have this nagging feeling that ive gone from one synthetic med (levothyroxine to another being liothyronine) and that cytomel would be better for me because of its purity.........but there are probably lots of people out there that do well on liothyronine.......would be very interested to hear from anyone who has maybe tried both or is doing well on liothyronine.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 HI Sheila you have already mentioned what is in the T3 that the NHS prescribe and going back to when I had that which caused a bad upset stomach with an angry phone call to the GP concerned. I had got in touch with the drug company about the fact that it contained industrial methylated spirit, but it also contains sodium chloride, and no wonder I was non too good on it. MEXICAN CYNOMEL,S INGREDIANTS ARE---- Corn Starch Calcium Sulfate Dehydrate Sugar Glass Talc Sterate Acid Powder Gelatin Ethyl Alcohol Purified Water Not even any Lacose in these, but is there anything that might be causing constipation in these ingrediants. I presume that the active ingrediants are the same as Cytomel, but the fillers are the main problem too many of us. The Internet is getting so good now that the NHS can save money by not needing as many Doctors, and lets face it they cost a lot in wages, and what have they done for us. MAKE US WORSE. My weight is starting to go down now, but I am still getting cramp at night. Which is the best time to take Potassium in the morning or nightime.
