armour thyroid

[Turquoise32]

for people on armour thyroid..how often do you take it-once or twice a day and if twice what time do you take the second dose? ☺️

[Insomania]

I take it once a day, at 6am.

I felt like it affected my sleep when I split the dose and I found it difficult to space it out around food and supplements with everything else going on in life.

I take it once per day. First thing when I wake.

Hello Turquoise 32 and welcome to the forum :

There is nothing on your Profile page - you might like to complete this so going forward as we can offer more centred support :

I take my NDT once a day at around 2/3 in the morning at a toilet break.

same!

Once a day in the morning but careful to keep it away from other supplements because some can affect its absorbtion

My daughter, my husband and myself take Armour twice a day: first thing in the morning an hour before breakfast and then early afternoon, about 5 -6h after the morning dose. We are all on about 2 grains a day in total . I am just under two grains, taking one grain first thing and then 3/4 to 7/8 as a second dose . I do it by purchasing 1/4 grains and gen split my 1 grain tablets and 1/4 grain ones to make this unusual dose of 7/8 in the afternoon. I tried to get to 2 grains but it was giving me side effects such as feeling hot and palpitations . When on 3/4 grain in the afternoon, I get sleepy and lethargic. So, I found this in-between dose. It is best to experiment what suits you best. I know that taking a daily dose all in one go would give me spikes in blood pressure and a headache, but we are all different. Good luck!

once a day works for me.
