Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
If you are correctly diagnosed with a permanently under-active thyroid gland ('Hypothyroidism') then there is no known cure for that in the world. The only option is to take levothyroxine.
It is an irreversible condition. However the good news is that you can be 'normalized' by taking the right dose.
There is no known natural product that can replace levothyroxine or raise T4.

I am aware of the various products in the market that make claims such as thyroid support etc but none have any proven scientific benefits.
