Just to repeat things, I wanted to list some sources.

International Antiaging Systems

http://www.antiaging-systems.com/a2z/home.htm

They have 1 grain Nature-throid. It is kind of expensive, but this

is a good company in the UK.

I found Nature-throid in South Africa in 1 grain doses for a little

less than IAS.

http://www.biogenesis.co.za/pi-thyroid.asp

Someone on the Texas thyroid group found 1drugstore-online

http://www.1drugstore-online.com/showprice.asp?

name=thyroid & bysearch=ok & menu1=-+-Brand+name-+- & menu2=-+Generic+name

They have higher dose generic thyroid made by a Thailand drug

manufacturer, that looks like a good company.

For those of you who want to just supplement your prescription meds,

a good choice is Nutrii+meds thyroid. They have both procine and

Bovine. I believe bovine is closer to human in T3 concentration. I

have used the bovine in the past and it works just fine. Each tablet

contains about 1/4 grain of natural thyroid. I dissolved it under my

tongue to make sure I got everything out of it. It's not too

economical if you take more than 1 or 2 grains a day. These are

perfectly legal supplements. Don't ask the company to tell you how

much thyroid is in their meds. They can't or they will loose their

supplement status. Many people use Nutri+meds and depend on them, so

I think the company is good about standardizing.

http://www.nutri-meds.com/

There are other sources of extracts that are low dose, also. One is

Thyrtrophin PMG, which is Natural thyroid with the T4 removed so

that it contains mostly T3 according to one article written by a

doctor condemning it for this (I can no longer find it). Other

sources say that it only contains the base thyroid hormone protiens,

which can be easily converted to T3. It does have some activity from

my own experience with it.

They also carry many other good products, such as adrenal extracts

and thyroid enhancing supplements, etc. They may ask for a user ID

and Password, but you can join and get these I believe.

These seem fine as I checked them out. Thanx much for reposting these. Think

I'll order from 1Drugstore to replace myrxforless. None have the brand name

Armour tho. Only generics.....bah humbug!! Is there some kind of elitists/power

trip conspiracy to keep us from getting the REAL thing? If so, why so I wonder?

Great idea. Are you going to call them? Do you have a phone number? I guess i

could try to find Time-Caps phone number too on the web. It's not on the label

of the bottle I've got here.

Caroline;

The naturethroid on both biogenesis and antiaging systems are

brand name, organic, hypoallergenic ; and NOT generic. At least,

that is what is stated on their websites. I'd rather spend the extra

few bucks for something that I have a better chance of feeling good

on. Some people may handle the generic thyroid extract just fine,

but I'd rather not chance it.

Interesting side note: when I was on synthetic t4, my insurance

company was too cheap to prescribe synthroid, so I started off with

generic synthroid. However, I got nervous, because I wanted

consistancy from batch to batch, so I asked my doctor to prescribe

unithroid or levoxl instead, because both of those brand names are

cheaper than synthroid. Would you believe that I did better on the

generic than I did on the unithroid? I became so sick on unithroid,

similar to the symptoms described by Sandy on the generic armour. It

made me curious as to who made the generic brand that I was on, so I

looked it up and discovered that my pharmacy uses a generic from the

same company that produces synthroid, and was therefore very similar.

I guess what I think now is that before I'd go for the generic ,

I'd want to know the generic brand's company and see if they are an

off shoot of any of the companies that produce the brand names. In

fact, one way to do this is to call the companies that make armour

and ask if they also produce a generic, what are the fillers, what

are the names, and where they can be located. Or, tell them the

online pharmacy and ask if they distribute the generic to them. Just

a thought.

Don't worry, lol, I looked up the labs only to discover that the

labs that make armour happen to be right on Long Island, where I

live! The factory is in Commack, which is about 25 minutes from me.

I'll try and call them tommorrow and see what I can find out.

Sheesh! how luck can you get? Gee, you don't even have to order it.....just

drive over & buy it?

Okay, make the phone call & get back to us. Tee hee...just thinking you could

buy it by the boxesful & ship it to the rest of us for cheaper than we could

otherwise get it. And make some money on the side for yourself since you're so

close to the factory there. LOL!!!

I seem to be feeling way better today than I have a in LONG time.

So something's working since I'm up to 1 3/4 grains now, which isn't

much but any improvement on any amount is welcome. I might be

I hope that wasn't just short lived for this moning & early afternoon. Maybe I

overdid in the garden or ate something I shouldn't have. Because I'm feeling

really bad & even depressed & extremely lonely again this evening & oh, my

aching back! Ups & downs on this roller coaster here.
