What is Desiccated Thyroid?
Desiccated thyroid is described as the cleaned, dried, and powdered thyroid gland previously deprived of connective tissue and fat.
Bovine Thyroid and Porcine Thyroid Glandulars Differences
Porcine refers to pork and bovine refers to beef.
Is One Thyroid More Effective Than the Other?
The porcine glandulars are a little closer to human chemistry, and are therefore often the primary choice of our customers. Many feel the porcine is more effective. For those who do not eat pork, often for religious reasons, the bovine glandulars are an excellent alternative. Allergies or food sensitivities may also influence the choice of either the bovine or porcine.
How Much Desiccated Thyroid Glandular Should I Take?
We prefer using basal temperature (under your arm) and your feeling of well-being as touch-points in determining what, and how much thyroid to take. Each person will need to find an amount at which they feel their absolute best. It is essential to progress slowly. Journal, to track your progress. Write down your temperature, what supplements you are taking, and how you feel; adjust accordingly. In the case of thyroid glandular, start with one only, and do not exceed 5 capsules or tablets a day. If necessary, take only a portion of a tablet or capsule and as always, consult your doctor for medical advice.
