Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Both types have bioidentical T4 and T3; but then the manufactured product is bioidentical too. When they are processed they have the potency adjusted to provide a consistent level of medication. Both types require a prescription in the US. AFAIK there is no difference in use between the two and I've never heard of anyone getting mad cow disease from either. You will find processed thyroid glands from which the effective ingredients [T4/T3] have been removed highly advertised/promoted in some venues. They do not require a prescription for the simple reason that the medication has been removed from them. They are bogus products no more effective that hamburger.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thank you, that explains why the bovine product I got doesn't work...at all!

Most of the bovine versions have been " denatured, " i.e., potency is so low you don't need a prescription or they get under the FDA radar. The molecular structures of the T4 and T3 are identical.

If you are subscribed to the hypothyroidism group, which you apparently are, then you automatically receive all messages posted to the list. That is how discussion groups work. If you are not subscribed, I don't know why it would have been sent to you, since the only receiving address involved seems to be this group.
