Natural thyroid replacement uses desiccated porcine thyroid in a pill form. This process involves cleaned, dried, and powdered thyroid gland, joined with binders to make a pill. Currently, it is used by a minority of health care professionals in the United States, with levothyroxine being prescribed primarily. However the proponents of natural thyroid replacement have strong belief in its effectiveness in treating hypothyroidism.
Brand names of natural thyroid replacements include:
