If you have: Hypothyroidism, you need an appropriate dose of brand name T4 replacement until your levels are normal. It is possible, but unlikely, that a mild case of hypothyroidism is responsible for erectile dysfunction. Armour thyroid is group-up pig and should not be taken by humans. It has many potential disadvantages and possible dangers associated with it's use.
