Re: Thyroid-S Ingredients!

[Guest guest]

Well, it's true in a sense. Iodine is a component of thyroid

hormones. 3-5-diiodothyronine is T2, named because there are iodine

molecules attached at the three and five positions. If you wanted

to get specifics about how much T3, T4 ets is in it, you're probably

going to have to ask more specific questions.

The answer you got is akin to asking what's in mineral water and

being told " hydrogen and oxygen. "

Porcine, of course, means it comes from pigs.

They are just telling how much thyroid is in the medication. One way

to measure thyroid hormone in natural thyroid is to measure the

amount of Iodine in it. Since T4 has 4 iodine molecules attached and

T3 has 3 iodine molecules attached, measuring Iodine can tell you

how much thyroid hormone is in there. The problem with measuring

only iodine is that sometimes the thyroid hormone can be damaged and

the iodine will still be there, but the thyroid is no good. This

rarely happens today, because more care is used in processing.

But, they did not tell you anything about pill binders. Thyroid-S

pills are so tiny, that I don't think they have many binders. They

do have some wierd bark flavored coating.
