Hypothyroid taking levothyroxine female turning 60. your opinion on armour which i hear is natural?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Armour: Arm our thyroid is ground pig thyroid. It is natural, but it can be difficult to dose because it is not consistent from dose to dose. However, i've had good success with it with my patients. Ask your doctor about it. Good luck.
