Benefits of Desiccated Thyroid Vs. Synthetic Thyroid Therapy

Fatigue, weight gain, depression, constipation, and dry skin are all signs of slow metabolism related to a poorly functioning thyroid. Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disease that can be due to an underlying attack by the immune system, a lack of nutrients, miscommunications between other hormones like cortisol, and of course surgery or treatment to remove the thyroid. While the causes of hypothyroidism may be different in each individual, one of the most common treatments prescribed no matter what the cause is due to is thyroid medication.
