Armour ( 2nd dose timing)

Started trial low dose Armour 1/4 grain (below range FT3).

How longs a piece of string I know, but if anyone has started low dose - how long did it take to see improvement?

Have to add 2nd dose 1/4 grain after 14 days. What is the usual guideline for 2nd dose timing?

Thanks

Penny

What time do you take your first dose? I take my doses as follows (if that is of any help):

5am 1.25 grains

11am 1 grain

5pm 0.50 grains

This seems to work well for me. If you are taking your dose first thing in the morning, then it might be wise to add an afternoon one at say 3pm... xxx
