A member asked:
Do i really need to maintain a time gap(2hrs before and 1hr after) between taking meals and armour thyroid, even when i am taking it sublingually?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try a much longer: Time gap, like forever. Armour thyroid is ground up pig parts, and not standardized on the basis of thyroid content, but on iodine, which is inaccurate and variable. You can't evaluate levels with thyroid blood tests. It contains T3 (liothyronine) which is potentially dangerous. Brand name T4 replacement is a lot safer and more effective. Pitch the pig!
