A member asked:
Is there an alternative to amour thyroid that replaces both t3 (liothyronine) and t4?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't need to takeT3: Nearly all endocrinologist agree that you should be taking just levothyroxine (T4) and not either Armour thyroid or both T4 and T3 (liothyronine). Your body is very good at converting some of the T4 you take into T3 (liothyronine).
