What is armor thyroid?
Armour thyroid is an extract from the thyroid gland of beef cattle, slaughtered in the Armour meat processing plants. As a result, its active ingredients are not only variable but subject to medical conjecture. In humans, the active thyroid hormones are designated T3 and T4, and these have been available in synthetic form for over 30 years. Nonetheless, a percentage of humans with hypothyroidism remain clinically refractory to treatment with synthetic thyroid hormone, and yet appear to fare much better on armour thyroid, thus raising at least a conjecture that an as yet unidentified molecule in beef thyroid bestows a benefit on this group of patients. All are readily available in pharmacies throughout the US, so discussion with one's physician may be warranted if the symptoms of hypothyroidism persist despite adequate replacement with synthetic thyroid hormone (thyroxine, sold under the brand names Synthroid or Levoxyl).

The hormone that targets the thyroid gland and triggers the release of thyroid hormone is thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). It is produced by the pituitary gland in response to low levels of thyroid hormones in the blood. TSH binds to receptors on the thyroid gland, stimulating it to produce and release thyroid hormones.
What hormone regulates thyroid function?
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) regulates thyroid function by stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). High levels of TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid, while low levels can indicate an overactive thyroid.
Can thyroid nodules cause thyroid to not work well?
