FDA is intending to take all natural thyroid supplements, such as “Armour Thyroid” and NP thyroid medications off the market.
This is terrible news - particularly for postmenopausal women.
Natural thyroid products: Derived from pigs, contain multiple hormones (T4, T3, T2, T1, and calcitonin). Synthetic thyroid products: (such as levothyroxine, brands Synthroid, Levoxyl) are made in a laboratory and contain only synthetic T4. There is a huge difference between the two - and for postmenapausal women, natural thyroid hormone is far superior. Women need all forms of the thyroid hormone - not just T4,
In summary, T3 is the active thyroid hormone responsible for controlling metabolism, heart and digestive functions, muscle and brain activity, growth, and temperature regulation. Its actions are more potent than its precursor T4, and balanced T3 levels are essential for good health. Not everyone converts T4 to T3 easily. Some women need more T3 supplementation. Plus benefits of the T1, T2 and calcitonin are significant.
Again, the FDA is making the worst decision possible for older women. This, after years of denying them HRT - based of flawed NIH studies.
You might think that the FDA wanted older women to be disabled with brittle bones, cognitive decline, metabolic disease, obesity, and poor health.
Physicians and those patients benefiting from these medications need to call the FDA to reconsider this process. druginfo@fda.hhs.gov or 1-888-INFO-FDA.
