The best time to take Armour or any NDT or synthetic T4 is the earliest in the morning...at least an hour before food or coffee/tea or other caffeine beverage. At least an hour span between thyroid med and other meds is also recommended. I take my NDT when I get up for an early morning bathroom run and then go back to bed for another hour or two. Then I don't worry about having my first cup of coffee in the AM.
