Its “Armour” thyroid. It comes from cattle thyroid glands, instead of the synthetic thyroid I take. Some natural health advocates prefer the natural to the synthetic. Mine works OK.
As long as I get the name brand Synthyroid it works fine. Generic is crap...and has nasty side effects for me. All those mouth ulcers were painful and my hair was falling out fast. Pharmacist told me the generic had 30% less hormone than the name brand. He’s been my Pharmacist for 25 yrs until the DOD MANDATED my husband a over 65 Ret. SCPO on Tricare Life to use the Military base or Express Scripts for daily meds, can’t trust ES they sub generics for DAW’s and are Fraud prone. The Navy Base only carries Name brand. It is all my ENDO will prescribe every 6 months.
I yo-yo but he leaves my dose at .125.
