Why Trust The Pioneer?
Levothyroxine for horses was introduced by LLOYD in 1965 as iodinated casein powder, Thyrone, and was replaced with Thyro-L in 1996. LLOYD developed the Levothyroxine Sodium Powder specification monograph for USP. It is the only (levothyroxine) USP powder available for horses.
How Does Thyro-L Set A Higher Standard -For Levothyroxine Sodium Powder For Horses?
Only Thyro-L meets the higher powder, USP standard for an oral pharmaceutical powder and can make this claim on the front mast of its label. Check the label of any other T4 powder product. You will see that it only contains Levothyroxine Sodium USP as a listed ingredient [Levothyroxine Sodium USP (0.22%)], which simply indicates a type of raw material.

What a Difference!
By Lynn on Nov 5, 2020
My new vet prescribed this for my 18 yr. old Anglo-Arab mare the very first time she evaluated her and reviewed my horse’s vet notes, earlier lab reports. She knew right away what my concerns were and what my mare needed, unlike previous, less experienced vets! My horse could have been helped 2 years earlier if I’d had my new vet on board back then! This product has already made a huge difference in my mare’s overall health, attitude and appearance after only 2 weeks! I am thrilled! Thank you!
