Mitochondrial & metabolic compounds
Porcine desiccated thyroid — Armour / NP Thyroid / Nature-Throid. T4+T3 in one grain, not pure T4.
What people say
The pig-thyroid tablet people switch to when Synthroid “felt like nothing” — NP Thyroid and Armour are the names.Not CSA. ExcelMale 2026 still charts Armour vs levo vs Cytomel. Access/FDA DTE talk is the clinic fight.
Doses people talk about
How it may feel
Some feel “on”; some get T3-like pulse.
Copied band60–120 mg/day oral
1–2 grain folklore. Not a protocol.
Cycles people discuss
Replacement is open-ended in clinic talk.
Timing
T4 fraction is slow; T3 fraction is faster. Felt heat is the T3.
Around the dose
Shortage substitutions (NP Thyroid for Armour) are the practical 2026 plot.
Stacks
Vs levothyroxine vs T3 — three cards, three clocks.
