I use the Pill Mill which is stainless steel and the best one I’ve tried. Can’t seem to add the link sorry. I got it from Amazon and whilst it’s slightly more expensive I’ve been using it for a few years and it’s still as good as when I bought it.

Hope this helps 🥰

I had a look, though it appears to crush rather than cut, am I looking at right one?

Not sure I can’t seem to down load the link but here’s a photo. Not had any trouble cutting Armour pills when I took them.

I use a scissor type one from Amazon. Still good after about 4 months.

No that not it. Try searching for this. I can’t see how to copy a link from the Amazon app.

I do not use the Amazon app so cannot help with that. But if it shows the ASIN number, you can just post that!

ASIN B088WCCPD1

Anyone can search Amazon for a product using the ASIN identifier.

When I first started on Armour I was advised by my thyroid doctor to just break them between my index fingers and thumbs. It felt tricky the first few times I tried it but then it's really easy.
