NP Thyroid is a form of natural desiccated thyroid hormone which is similar but different than Armour thyroid.

Both medications contain the same active ingredients but they differ in the inactive ingredients.

This small difference can greatly impact how you feel when you use or take these medications.

Armour thyroid contains the following ingredients:
Triiodothyronine (active ingredient)
Thyroxine (active ingredient)
Calcium stearate
Dextrose
Microcrystalline cellulose (May cause reactions in some people
Sodium starch glycolate
Opadry white
Minor amounts of calcitonin, T1, T2, and proteins

NP thyroid contains the following ingredients:
Triiodothyronine (active ingredient)
Thyroxine (active ingredient)
Calcium stearate
Dextrose monohydrate
Maltodextrin
Mineral oil
Minor amounts of calcitonin, T1, T2, and proteins

You can see from the list that NP thyroid has slightly fewer ingredients and may be better tolerated for some people.

In addition, NP thyroid is also cheaper when compared to Armour thyroid.
