To chew or swallow NDT?

[sip1]

I've been chewing mine, but I now don't know if this is the best idea or not? I take Thyroid S

I take Thyroid S and swallow it

There was a very good article posted here yesterday about the benefits of taking NDT sublingually. I think it was posted by Londinium if you want to check it out ( but I could be wrong lol)

I tried it this morning but my Armour just would not dissolve sublingually, so in the end I just swallowed it with water as usual. Has anyone else found this?

Thanks for the replies - most useful x

Can we do this also with T3 liothyronine? I read the article and it seems much in favour to take it sublingically. I guess that way it does not have to pass by the stomach or liver first, and if low stomach acid that could be a problem.

I chew my t3 and swallow with a glass of water and have no problems

[marmaris in reply to Stourie]

Thanks Stourie I am going to do this also.

Yes, I have always taken my T3 that way. But no good for levo, that needs stomach acid to desolve it.

I take Thyroid S. I chew 'em. I've only recently started doing it after a tangential thread on here. They taste nice (like papaya someone said) and it's to help absorption. I believe it has made a significant, positive difference to my concentration and stamina.

Hi Sip1, I was wondering how the thyroid-s is working out for you? I'm waiting for mine to arrive and hope it works well for me! Thanks.

Hi Sixties Things are going well, it's only been 24 days, and I'm only on 1.5 grains so far so it's a bit early to say if I've seen much of an improvement, but on the plus side - I haven't had any negative side effects. I'm hoping they'll start to kick in, in a more obvious way one I get up and over 2. When did you order yours?

[Sixties_pip in reply to sip1]

Thanks for the reply! I ordered about 2 wks ago. I'm in California so hopefully I receive this upcoming week! I've chosen not to try the synthetic meds from my doc and she wont prescribe the natural desiccated so i take matters into my own hands. I actually been diagnosed hypo for a couple years (though in retrospect prob had much longer). Im only just out of range, but still i'm always tired! I've been taking supplements like iodine and selenium, b complex, etc. all of which have helped my energy some, but lately been feeling so tired again. So i'm happy to have learned about tyroid-s. i'm hoping it will help with energy!
