I will start by saying that I am not an expert on thyroid meds, I have just done

a little research because my husband and one of my daughters need to be on

Armour.

This is a great website to educate yourself in general:

www.stopthethyroidmadness.com

This is an over the counter option:

http://www.nutri-meds.com/

It is available as porcine thyroid AND as bovine thyroid. On the stop the

madness site, they state that many people say it is a weaker formulation, so you

may need to use more of it.

I also found this on their website:

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/jewish/

I don't know if that is helpful or not.

Blessings,

Cathy

I just want to say that it may make sense to. Noose a thyroid supplement vs a medication. Once you get on medication, the thyroid adjusts and stops making as much hormone. But if you can support the gland, it may improve without medication. RuthSent from my iPhone

Oops. Just saw my typo. I meant to use a supplement, not noose. :)Sent from my iPhone

What about levothyroxine? Works the same and not made from pig.
