ARMOUR THYROID (porcine):

The thyroid hormone is a natural preparation derived from thyroid glands (porcine). It is used to supplement an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism), which may be due to a variety of causes. Armour thyroid hormone contains both T4 and T3 and functions to enhance the uptake of oxygen into tissues and increase metabolic rate by promoting carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism. By replacing thyroid hormone deficient in the body (with carefully monitored dosing), people will experience an increase in energy levels, a greater sense of well-being and loss of excess body fat.
