Your thyroid gland is vital for your health. Every cell of your body depends on the thyroid hormone. Unfortunately, around 20 million Americans suffer from thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s which cause many health issues such as digestive issues, weight gain, depression and fatigue.
As a standard procedure, most doctors give patients a thyroid replacement hormone as medication. But that’s about it! That’s why most women don’t see any improvement when they take the medication. In fact, it can cause more symptoms because of side effects of the medication itself. You need to realize, there’s no magic pill for curing thyroid conditions. Because in order to reverse thyroid conditions and eliminate symptoms, you have to address the root cause of the problem and deal with your entire body.
THYROID REPLACEMENT MEDICATION
Thyroid replacement hormones are one of the most commonly prescribed medications. Here is a rundown of the most common prescriptions:
Synthetics
Levothyroxine: This is the most common thyroid hormone. This synthetic T4 hormone comes in over 30 different brand names such as Synthroid and Levothroid.
Liothyronine: This is the generic name for synthetic T3, the active form of the thyroid hormone. The most common brand name is Cytomel.
Natural Varieties
Armour
Nature-throid

YOUR SYNTHETIC THYROID MEDICATION HAS BEEN RECALLED. IT HAS SOME QUESTIONABLE INGREDIENTS
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a voluntary recall for 2 thyroid medications made by a Chinese manufacturer because of certain problems with an ingredient.
These medications include Levothyroxine and Liothyronine 15 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg.
The FDA said the recalled medications were “manufactured using active pharmaceutical ingredients that were sourced prior to the FDA’s import alert.”
“Because these products may be used in the treatment of serious medical conditions, patients taking the recalled medicines should continue taking their medicine until they have a replacement product,” the FDA said.
Did you know that Some common inactive ingredients found in thyroid medications are:
- dyes
- cellulose
- lactose
- other sugars
- extra iodine (excess iodine can trigger autoimmune thyroid problems)
- corn starch
