What is Thiroyd?
Thiroyd was the first brand of Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) available in Thailand. It is a generic of Armour Thyroid.
The thyroid is a gland responsible for regulating the body’s metabolism, and when it is not functioning correctly, it can cause several problems such as hypothyroidism.
Greater Pharma Co., Ltd, the producer of Thiroyd, is a leading Thai pharmaceutical manufacturer with almost 90 years of history!
Thiroyd comes in the form of thyroid tablets. One bottle contains 1000 one grain tablets. This product has excellent potency and was always very consistent.
Why use Thiroyd tablets instead of levothyroxine?
If you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, there is a good chance your doctor has prescribed your thyroid medication. One of the most common types of thyroid medication is synthetic T4 (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Tirosint, Unithroid) hormone replacement therapy. While this medication can effectively treat hypothyroidism, it is not the best and not the only option available. In most cases, natural desiccated thyroid may be a better choice. This blog post will discuss the benefits of long-term use of Thiroyd and why it may be a better option for you.
5 Benefits of Thiroyd:
-
It is a natural product
Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) is a natural product that contains thyroid hormones. It is made from the dried thyroid gland of pigs. NDT has been used to treat hypothyroidism for over 100 years. It is a safe and more effective treatment for many people with hypothyroidism.
-
The hormones are identical to those made by the human thyroid gland
NDT contains all of the major thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), T2, T1, and calcitonin. These hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced by the human thyroid gland. NDT is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. NDT is also used to treat goiters and benign tumors of the thyroid gland. NDT is available as a prescription medication and must be taken orally.

There is a long history of using thyroid NDT
It has been used for decades to treat hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid. In recent years, there has been growing interest in using NDT to treat other conditions, such as Hashimoto’s disease and adrenal fatigue.
-
It provides optimal levels of all the thyroid hormones
NDT provides optimal levels of all the thyroid hormones, including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This makes it an effective treatment for patients who are not well-regulated on levothyroxine monotherapy. In addition, NDT has been shown to improve the quality of life in patients with hypothyroidism.
-
It is the treatment of choice for underactive thyroid by patients who tried both NDT and levothyroxine
For some people with hypothyroidism, treatment with synthetic thyroid hormone medication is the right choice. However, for the majority of patients, this medication doesn’t work well or they can’t tolerate it. In these cases, natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) may be a better option. A study published in the journal Thyroid showed that NDT was 257% more effective than synthetic thyroid hormone medication for patients who had tried both treatments.
NDT may not be right for everyone but there are many benefits to using this natural supplement long-term as a treatment option for those suffering from hypothyroidism.
This gland is responsible for regulating the body’s metabolism, and when it is not functioning properly, it can cause a number of problems such as hypothyroidism.
How to take natural desiccated thyroid
(Thiroyd dosage)
The usual starting dose, for patients with a thyroid hormone deficiency, is around 30mg of desiccated thyroid extract, which is about 0,5 Thiroyd tablets a day.
The conventional way of dosing Thiroyd: Thiroid should be taken with water on an empty stomach, preferably 30 minutes before a meal. The dose of Thiroid that you take should be as recommended by your doctor or healthcare professional. The usual starting dose is 30 mg Thyroid, with increments of 15 mg (1/4 of a tablet) every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the levels of T3 and T4 measured in the blood during treatment, so blood monitoring is important while you are taking Thiroid. It usually takes several weeks to see normal levels of blood thyroid hormone levels after.
The maximum recommended dose is 250 mg of Thyroid a day, which will be 4 and 1/6 of a tablet.

Thai Thyroid in 2022
It seems that the golden era of Thai thyroid has come to an end. T.Man Pharmaceutical stopped manufacturing TR Thyroid and Greater Pharma stopped producing Thiroyd in 2018/2019. All existing stock of Thiroyd is expired. Sriprasit pharma is still manufacturing Thyroid-S, but it’s clearly not as good as it used to be.
Can you buy Thiroyd online in 2022?
It is still possible to buy Thiroyd in 2022. Just the price is very high, at around 1500 USD for 1000 tablets.
Is there hope for a good over-the-counter NDT Thyroid?
In conclusion, it is evident that the Thai thyroid market is in decline and that there is an increasing demand for reliable OTC NDT thyroid. While the product is currently unavailable in the United States, there are a number of potential alternatives for American and European consumers.
Hopefully, this situation will be resolved in the near future, as NDT has the potential to improve the lives of many people who suffer from thyroid problems.
