I have long advocated for avoiding thyroid supplements that contain thyroid extracts. Some people believe that by taking supplements that contain thyroid extracts, they can give a boost to their hormone levels. They often reference how these thyroid supplements are similar to taking NDT. What is often forgotten, however, is that prescription NDT is much more regulated and rigorous in maintaining that the thyroid extracts they use have similar thyroid hormones. Thyroid supplements that contain thyroid extracts may have a lot of thyroid hormones in one dosage, but in the next, it is possible it has little or even none.

On the other hand, thyroid supplements can help those who are deficient in certain nutrients. They often contain helpful herbs as well. Ashwagandha, for instance, has been shown in many research studies to be beneficial for hypothyroid patients.
