T4 vs T3 – Understanding the Key Thyroid Hormones
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, our compounded thyroid porcine delivers a natural balance of T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (liothyronine) for complete thyroid hormone support. The table below outlines the key differences between T4 and T3 and helps patients and providers choose the best option for energy, metabolism, and overall wellness.
Benefits of Compounded Thyroid Porcine
Compounded thyroid porcine provides a dual-hormone approach, offering both T4 and T3 for a more complete thyroid replacement therapy. This balance can help improve energy, metabolism, mood, and cognitive clarity — especially for patients who have not responded fully to synthetic T4 alone.
Precise Customization
Each prescription is tailored to the individual, allowing for small dose adjustments to achieve optimal symptom control.
Flexible Release Types
Options for immediate-release or sustained-release capsules help optimize hormone delivery and absorption.
Compounded Thyroid Porcine vs Commercial Medications
Rock Ridge Pharmacy offers custom-compounded thyroid porcine as a natural alternative to commercial thyroid medications. By combining both T4 and T3 hormones in a personalized dose, compounded formulations can better match your body’s needs—especially if you have sensitivities, absorption issues, or persistent symptoms with standard treatments.
Who Should Consider Compounded Thyroid Porcine?
Compounded thyroid porcine is ideal for patients seeking a natural T4 and T3 hormone combination with precise, personalized dosing. It may be beneficial if you experience persistent hypothyroid symptoms, have difficulty converting T4 into T3, are sensitive to fillers or dyes in commercial thyroid medications, or require strengths not available in standard products.
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, each prescription is custom compounded to help restore energy, improve metabolism, and support overall thyroid health—ensuring your therapy fits your body’s unique needs.
Supplements to Support Compounded Thyroid (NDT) Therapy
Natural thyroid hormone replacement works best when supported with key nutrients. These supplements can help optimize energy, metabolism, and long-term thyroid health.
- Selenium 200 mcg – supports thyroid hormone conversion (T4 → T3)
- Zinc Picolinate 30 mg – essential for thyroid hormone production and immune function
- Vitamin D₃ Complete 5000 IU – balances immune activity and supports metabolism
- Magnesium Glycinate Plus – aids energy production, stress response, and sleep quality
- Probiotic Support – promotes gut health for optimal thyroid hormone absorption
These supplements are intended to complement compounded thyroid therapy, not replace it. Ask our pharmacists how supportive supplementation can fit into your personalized thyroid care plan.
