Well good for you! You sound like an advertisement. And you don't have to yell!

Not if a vegetarian.

Armour is harder to regulate in some patients and contains a much higher T3/T4 ratio than most humans need, after all, its a pigs thyroid. For many people the slight increase is fine, but some people can have problems When starting Armour it is possible to have a few good weeks of feel good, then then for it to seem to wear off.  Usually the reason is that the initial boost is from the T3 addition, but then the crash is because the T3/T4 ratio is not optimum for your body.

Some people develop TED when they take animal-based extracts such as Armour, because the immune system  react to foreign proteins found in glandular extracts. Synthetic meds. doesn't cause this probelm.

"Armour Thyroid tablets should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease and it may increase the symptoms of diabetes, mellitus, diabetes inspidus or adrenal insufficiency".  armourthyroid.com

"Thyroid extract (Armour Thyroid) is generally not recommended due to variation in potency and contains large amounts of T3 which can cause palpitations and tremors." thyroidfoundation.org

"Physicians also are concerned that a tablet of T3 causes higher than normal blood levels of this hormone, posing a risk for dangerous cardiac arythmias and heart attacks..." thyroid-fed.org

"overall there was little to no evidence that a combination
of T3 added to thyroxine provided therapeutic benefit
additional randomized control trials of L-thyroxine alone vs. thyroxine
plus T3 did not show any clinical benefit of T3 supplementation
Treatment of hypothyroidism with excess T3 has potential risks and ..."

This is all I have time for - got to go.

This is my personal take and i am not going to debate it, for its a matter of preference, one which can be dangerous for some.

I personally like the big script, its easier to read. I have to agree I took levothyroxine for a year and felt awful. After a week on westhroid I felt like a new person. My grandmother is also hypothyroid and has been on armour since the 50s, shes 80 years old and in great shape. When I was diagnosed with hashimotos and started on levothyroxine she couldn't understand why I was having so many problems feeling better. She convinced me to talk to my doctor about changing over and I'm so happy I did it gave me my life back. Thats evidence enough for me that t3 and t4 just work. Also some people who start on armour and do not feel better, often have another underlying problem. Lets remember most people who end up taking armour do so because the standard treatment of levothyroxine didn't work.

90% of us feel the big script is yelling.

As for the subject matter, well, we've been through this a few days back. Maybe you missed it.

Let's remember most of us are taking Levothyroxine and don't apreciate being browbeat about it.

If Armour works for you fine. It doesn't work for everyone.
