Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1999 (Vol. 340:424-429) compared the effects of Synthroid (synthetic T4- only med) to Armour (natural dessicated pig thyroid). Although patients in each of the two groups had similar laboratory test results, those receiving natural thyroid extract scored better on tests for cognitive performance, including memory, language and learning. In addition, those receiving the natural product scored significantly better on scales relating to mood and physical status. It's a good thing! I noticed significant Proper Noun memory loss in my mid 40's!! Whether it was thyroid related or not, I HATE IT!! I've only been on Armour since July, so I am looking for SOME improvement.
