Nature-Throid - Western Research Labs

Millions of people are unable to lead a fulfilling lifestyle because they

suffer from a debilitating disease: Hypothyroidism. This is a condition

resulting from the thyroid's inability to produce enough hormones for it to

function properly. These hormones are responsible for helping cells convert

oxygen and calories into energy. For this reason, the thyroid is considered

the master gland of metabolism. The key hormones produced are

triiodothyronine(T3) and thyroxine(T4). Some T3 is produced by the thyroid,

but the remainder of the T3 needed by the body is formed from T4 in a

process called " T4 to T3 conversion " .

When the thyroid is in good condition, it will produce 80% T4 and 20% T3

hormones. The T3 hormone is the more biologically active hormone because it

functions at a cellular level and is several times stronger than T4. There

are numerous reasons for the body's failure to produce enough thyroid

hormone, including the inability to convert T4 to T3. Western Research

Laboratories offers a natural approach to supplementing the body with both

these vital hormones.

Nature-Throid™ and Westhroid™ are natural thyroid hormone products derived

from freshly excised and promptly frozen porcine glands. They are hormonally

identical. Westhroid™ was originally bound with cornstarch, which was found

to cause sensitivities in those who have food allergies. Realizing this, we

made Nature-Throid™ which is bound with microcrystalline cellulose, a

hypoallergenic binder. Nature-Throid™ is more suitable for patients who

suffer with reactions to regular binding agents and fillers.

Each batch is assayed in many ways including USP, for consistent content and

dosage. Due to stringent FDA regulations, T3 and T4 content must always be

within strict parameters. Any type of deviation from this would prevent the

batch from being released. Visits may be made by the FDA to ensure full

compliance with their regulations. To this day, neither Nature-Throid™ or

Westhroid™ has ever had to be recalled.

Nature-Throid™ and Westhroid™ are prescribed to patients who have been

diagnosed with a thyroid disease. These products are measured in Grains.

Each Grain is equal to 64.8 mg containing 9 mcg of T3 and 38 mcg of the T4

hormone. Since it is a prescription hormone medication, patients must follow

their Doctor's directions to ensure proper treatment.

You know, I've read this before, but as far as it feels in my

system (I don't know about anyone else); it seems that 30mgs armour

feels about the same strength as 25 mcgs of synthroid. I should note

that I felt I had a real sensitivity to synthroid, so for someone

else, 25 mcgs may not feel like much, but I was climbing the walls!

I experienced both hyper and hypo symptons on even such a miniscule

dosage.
