How It Works
Nature Throid is a naturally derived thyroid hormone replacement containing levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3). T4 acts as a prohormone, converted to active T3 in the liver and other tissues. Thyroid hormones primarily increases metabolic rate, oxygen consumption, body temperature, cardiac output, and the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, while supporting growth and tissue maturation.
