Regular (white pill) vs Sugar Coated (pink pill)

I am at the tail end of my Thiroyd QTY 1000, and about to order more. Does anybody notice a difference between regular thiroyd and the sugar coated tablet?

I am currently taking 5 grain of regular thiroyd (white pill), and I am thinking my dose is so high because I am not absorbing this properly and maybe the sugar coated tablet would be better.

As far as I know, Thiroyd is white and Thyroid-S is brown and TR is pink. Some people do better on one than the other - fillers etc are different. They are different products manufactured by different companies. Recently, someone here said they found TR ineffective but others like it.
