Anyone else see a development or worsening of anxiety on newer fills of Armour or compounded porcine thyroid using raw material from Medisca/Sichuan Deebio?

As this is a UK forum, most members have UK experience. Though we do have members from round the world.

Yes, some members do get Armour Thyroid so you might get some replies.

But few, if any, get compounded porcine thyroid within the UK. And, even if some do, the chances of them knowing the supplier of the Thyroid USP ingredient are very low. I didn't realise that customers were told that sort of information, anywhere!

I realize that, but as yet this is the only HU hypothyroid board I've found. And, Armour is sold world-wide.

I'm afraid that whilst a few do get Armour Thyroid within the UK, that is by the special import route. (Some pharmacies manage to get small supplies.) It isn't available as a regular medicine.

The best of luck - I hope someone can help.
