In this podcast, we're going to talk about Armour Thyroid and Synthroid. What is the main difference between them, and is Armour Thyroid better than Synthroid?


Synthroid

Synthroid is a synthetic thyroid hormone—T4. T4 has to be converted into T3 to be active. Another name for T4 is levothyroid or levothyroxine. 

 • It takes 4 weeks to start making changes. 

 • If you're not converting T4 to T3, Synthroid is not going to work.


Armour Thyroid

This is a natural extract from a pig's thyroid. 

 • It contains T4, T3, and calcitonin (an important thyroid hormone). 

 • It takes 2 weeks to start making changes.
