Natural vs Synthetic: Choosing the Best Medicine for Hypothyroidism in Your Thyroid Disorder Treatment

One of the biggest decisions in Thyroid Disorder treatment is choosing between synthetic and natural forms of the Best Medicine for Hypothyroidism. Dr. Anshul Gupta explains the pros and cons of each option:

Synthetic Thyroid Hormones (Levothyroxine):

• Consistent potency

• Widely available

• Insurance typically covers

Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT):

• Contains both T4 and T3
