metative 11 vs Armour

I’ve now given up using Thyrogold and in sheer desperation ordered a batch of armour and a batch of metative 11. I am up to 4.25 grains of Thyrogold and my TSH increased again? But T3 and T4 marginally improved but to be honest I was taking biotin so that could be a false high. My question is who’s having good results with either of these?

I've taken both Metavive and Armour and have done well on both, but I've no idea how they compare to Thyrogold.

I’ve taken Metavive for years and happy with results. I’ve been changed to Armour by a private doctor who doesn’t use Metavive and can honestly say there’s no difference.

Would you say there’s no difference in the strength too then? Armour is virtually 4 times the price so if metative is good I’ll try that first. Would you jump across or titrate? Thyrogold is bovine

all the Metavives are different strengths but I would say Metavive I (porcine) is the same as 1/4 grain of Armour. Not sure of the others. I’d change over slowly.
