Tiratricol is a thyroid hormone that occurs naturally in the body. It can also be made in a lab and taken by mouth under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
Tiratricol can alter thyroid function. It should not be used without medical supervision. In France, tiratricol is a prescription drug. In the US, tiratricol is not legal to include in dietary supplements. The US FDA has warned against the use of products containing tiratricol.
People use tiratricol for thyroid disorders, high cholesterol, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. It may also be unsafe.
