Tip The Scale In Your Favour
Hypothyroidism or low thyroid is generally treated with the use of T4. However, some patients find that T4 supplementation alone does not completely resolve symptoms.
Compounded thyroid hormones offers prescribes a way to better manage patient symptoms and outcomes. This includes T3 capsules as a slow release capsules, thyroid extract and personalised blends of vitamins & minerals.
Natural Desiccated Thyroid Extract
Also known as NDT or Porcine Thyroid Extract is a popular treatment option we see prescribed for hypothyroidism or low thyroid. Thyroid extract is a natural thyroid replacement therapy that contains a standardised combination of T4 and T3.
Our thyroid extract capsules come free of allergen causing fillers such as lactose and gluten with the option of vegetable or gelatine based capsules also being available.

PERSONALISATION
Patient Satisfaction
Thyroid extract contains a fixed ratio of T4 to T3. Sometimes, NDT may contain too little or too much T3 depending on the concentration of T4 required to be prescribed making a personalised T3 capsules as a slow-release formulation an excellent, adjustable alternative to many.
Symptom Improvement
An article from The Journal of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity analysed patients that didn't feel improvement using standalone T4 therapy. From this group, 78% of patients prefer thyroid extract when they using it.
Personal Preferance
Another study from The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that almost three times as many patients preferred thyroid extract to standalone T4 therapy.
Personalised Protocols
Most standard thyroid replacement protocols only utilises T4. The addition of T3 is what many believe to make a difference in how patients feel in terms of energy and ability to lose weight.
