Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the optimal dose of naturethroid, erfa or armour that they felt the best on and what helped them lose weight. I’m wondering if I’m on a dose too high....

Thanks a lot in advance

Every one is different. What are your latest test results, with reference ranges? Your FT3 will tell you if you are on the right dose - too low you aren't on enough, over range and you're on too much. But of course, you have to factor in how you feel.

Thank you seaside. I need to retake my tests again and check. I was feeling extremely tired and I was taking 2 grains in the morning and 2 in the evening. I just reduced it and I feel a better. I plan on getting the tests done this week.

Every two weeks you can add a 1/4 of a tablet of NDTand it is the relief of clinical symptos that is the priority and this might help:-
