About Armour Thyroid

Armour Thyroid is a type of hormone replacement therapy. It differs from other therapies in two important ways:

  • It is a natural preparation—not a synthetic compound
  • It provides both of the key thyroid hormones, levothyroxine (T4) and L-triiodothyronine (T3), in a 4.22:1 ratio (4.22 parts of T4 to one part of T3).

These unique attributes may make Armour Thyroid the right hormone replacement therapy for many of your patients with hypothyroidism.
