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
I assume that the doses are not equivalent, as far as I know, thyroid-S is less potent than Armour.
Same formulation per grain:
38 mcg T4
9 mcg. T3
The only difference is the horrendous price of Armour.
Also what is thyroid S?
Another desiccated thyroid product which is made in Thailand.
