Normal Thyroid Levels

Armour® Thyroid—A natural replacement for thyroid hormoneWhen a thyroid is either underactive, nonfunctioning, or has been all or partly surgically removed, you may be hypothyroid. The diagnosis is made by your physician. The traditional treatment for hypothyroidism is thyroid hormone replacement, which involves taking a prescription drug (T4, T3, or a combination product containing both T4 and T3) that acts similarly in the body to the human hormone thyroxine that the thyroid would normally produce. Armour® Thyroid, one of several drugs available for the treatment of hypothyroidism, is a naturally derived thyroid replacement containing both T4 and T31. Other products are available which contain synthetic T4 and/or synthetic T3.

You Are Not AloneIf you have been diagnosed as having hypothyroidism, you are one of millions of Americans who also have this problem. And although the number and severity of symptoms vary with the length of time and the degree of thyroid hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism and its symptoms usually worsen if left untreated.
