I recently started on Armour - I was advised 1 and half grain in the morning no food no caffeine and 1 grain pm. Is it necessary to split the dose. I am finding it hard to take the afternoon dose at the right time.

thanks

Sizzles dosing is an individual thing. Some folks can take it as one dose while others split it into 2, 3 or more doses. It is trial and error as to what suits you. You need to be consistent with dosing however so if afternoon does not fit in with your routine move that dose to what you think will work. Personally I dose on waking and bedtime. This leaves the day free for supplements.

that’s so helpful. I didn’t know if I needed to stick to the afternoon dose but bedtime works much better for me. Thanks

Ensure your stomach is empty when taking thyroid hormone replacements so that nothing interferes with its 'uptake'.
