Armour versus westhyroid

[Hills]

Hi All

Can anyone give me feedback re Armour & Westhyroid.

There is a big difference in price and I am confused by feedback on products. Some say Armour dose is not always consistant, but how can Westhyroid be so much cheaper.

Which would you go with.

Thanks

Armour prices have risen considerably in the recent past opening up an even larger gap with the RLC products you mention.

I would go with Nature-Throid if I were to decide on desiccated rather than the levothyroxine I actually take. At least as my first port of call. If I felt the need I might try Westhroid Pure (more expensive but possibly less likely to cause problems due to its very small number of relatively "safe" ingredients).

An awful lot of feedback on such things stretches back years and is not always coherent, consistent or even true! I am sure most people are trying to put sensible feedback it just doesn't work like that long term.

Ive taken both.

my armour was always consistent and I never had any problems with it. I was chasnged to erfa which I totally crashed on and had to make an emergency order for more and got westhroid just because it was cheaper and I hadnt budgeted for any. it seems to agree with my stomach better than the armour but other than that no different. Im sticking with the westthroid simply because its cheaper and just as good
