A natural thyroid replacement is a thyroid replacement derived from thyroid hormone from dried pig thyroid glands. Unlike synthetic thyroid replacement supplements, it is thought that the dried pig thyroid glands are closest to human thyroid hormone. Natural thyroid supplements are also thought to provide all thyroid hormones and not just specifically T3 or T4 as in synthetic replacements.

Answer by  Moma123 (1043)

Insufficient production of thyroid hormones by thyroid glands causes hypothyroidism which is treated with either synthetic or natural thyroid replacement therapy. In natural thyroid replacement, animal-derived thyroid tablets are prescribed for patients with hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormones are extracted from the glands of animals such as cow, sheep, goat and pig and tablets are manufactured.
