Lactose in Thyroid S

I have just switched to Thyroid S from Armour, and I am not doing so well.

Tired and aching, plus the bloating is back. Thyroid S contains lactose though, so possibly why because I am intolerant.

Will taking a lactase enzyme at the same time as the Thyroid S affect absorption?

Thanks

Why don’t you go back on armour? Was there a reason you came off of it?

The price is more than double.

The price of Armour is a drag. Unfortunately the copious fillers in Thyroid S mean I can't take it. But you get a whopping 400ish tablets extra for the same price.

Armour is an old, well established medicine. It should be far cheaper. What a stitch up.

Hope you find a way to take the TS. Maybe taking alongside the enzyme along with something acidic can help

Thanks for your reply.Armour was costing me £204 every 3 months. Thyroid S £120 for almost a year’s supply.

I have taken my first lactase enzyme this evening before my Thyroid S, so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I assume that the doses are not equivalent, as far as I know, thyroid-S is less potent than Armour.

in reply to adin

Same formulation per grain:

38 mcg T4

9 mcg. T3

The only difference is the horrendous price of Armour.

Another desiccated thyroid product which is made in Thailand.

I have created, and try to maintain, a document containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world.
