A member asked:
Is dessicated thyroid t4 comparable to synthetic t4?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but des. has T3 (liothyronine): T4 is the same exact chemical whether it is from dessicated or synthetic thyroid. However, dessicated thyroid also has the T3 (liothyronine) form of thyroid, which is available in synthetic form but not found in pills with t4.
