Thyrotropin Alfa

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, or abbreviated TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4), and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.[1] It is a glycoprotein hormone produced by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid.[2][3] Contents 1 P...

I have been taking Euthyrox, which is Levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic L-Thyroxine (T4), to treat my hypothyroid. Then I read about Thyroxine, which, according to one source, contains both triiodothyronine (T3 and T4), and the effects are not the same as taking T4 alone. But else where on the internet, L-Thyroxine is regarded as the same as Thyroxine, except that the former is more potent than the latter. Is that all the difference between the two?

hi has anyone taken this pill and has hypothyroid? && has anyone taking synthroid taken this pill? has anyone have had success ? lmk pleae i would really appreciated ## From what I've been reading online, there are many people who find Redotex to be a useful treatment option for hypothyroidism. Apparently it contains 75mcg of triiodothyronine (the same hormone your thyroid would normally produce). However, this medications also contains a number of other questionable ingredients that have been deemed unsafe when used together and even banned in some countries; so researching safety protocols first would be a good idea so you know exactly what you're putting in your body. I hope this helps!
