Synthetic thyroid (Cynomel/Cynoplus) vs NDT (Armour, Tyromax) - which one do you do better with?
-
Hi everyone,
I have a question for y'all:
Which type of thyroid supplement do you feel and function best on, natural desiccated thyroid e.g. Tyromax or Armour thyroid or synthetic thyroid e.g Cynoplus?
I recently tried taking Tyromax again because I've been feeling increasingly hypo this winter, but since starting thyroid supplementation I have NOT been feeling good. It's not so much that I am overstimulated (though my sleep has been worse), I just feel bad, kind of an off feeling, slight nausea. Initially I did get some nice thyroid effects and a temp boost but now I just feel crappy. I was taking 5 drops, so not even 1 grain. I am sensitive to gluten so maybe it's the small amount of gluten from the tocopherols in Tyromax that is problematic (derived from wheat germ oil I believe), or is my body just reacting negatively to NDT for some reason? Is there anyone here who does poorly on NDT but feel good on synthetic thyroid?
I just bought some Novotiral and will give that a trial once it gets here from Mexico
Oh, also, Merry Christmas

@Korven This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but I've tried Tyromix and another source of synthetic thyroid. The other brand works a lot better and I wish I had tried something else than the Tyromix sooner. Haven't tried NDT unfortunately.

I just did a cycle of t3 and I too feel pretty horrible in general, much better off the meds.
I say work on your metabolism through diet and lifestyle and leave the thyroid meds out unless you’re actually clinically hypo.
