These Armour Thyroid Ingredients Will Surprise You

Показать описание
Armour thyroid is one of the most popular natural desiccated thyroid medications on the market. For that reason, we are going to be taking a close look at both the inactive and inactive ingredients found inside of this thyroid medication to see what it's actually made of.

I plan to do this for all thyroid medications and if you'd like to see my previous video on levothyroxine ingredients you can find that here:

When it comes to active ingredients, Armour thyroid contains the following:

Standardized doses of T4 and T3 and non-standardized doses of T2, T1 (probably), and calcitonin. These are active hormones found inside of this medication. A non-standardized dose just means that it's probably found in there but they don't ensure any sort of level between lots.

The inactive ingredients include calcium stearate, dextrose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, and opadry white.

If you are having issues with Armour thyroid it is almost certainly due to the inactive ingredients as opposed to the active ingredients and the problem can usually be solved by simply switching to a different version of NDT.

Aside from Armour, you can also look into NP thyroid as well as Adthyza which is a relatively new NDT medication.

My wife was one Armour and she went down hill and got retested on the same exact dose as last blood work and her t4, t3 dropped a lot, cholesterol went up and all her symptoms are back. This lines up with her last refill in January.

I’ve never had a thyroid medication in a capsule and I’ve been on every kind.

I’ve been using this and I love how it made me feel. However, it made me bite down really hard. Not sure what that’s all about but found myself doing that a lot.

I did great on Thyroid S but then had issues getting it but when I switched to Armour it was like taking nothing for me

The only alternative is Levothyroxine and studies show that causes cancer in "some"...not taking the risk & I can't find a doctor who feels comfortable prescribing NP Thyroid.

It's frustrating because we have two options, neither are safe, but untreated hypothyroidism shortens lifespan...

UPDATE: June 2024- My GYN prescribes Armour Thyroid & I've been on 30mg for a year now.... it's natural, (pig unfortunately), but I feel good

Was on levothyroxine for 11 years after my thyroidextomy. Then I found Armour thyroid best thing that ever happened to me. But then I notice my acid reflux was out of hand and the bloating was out of control. It was hard to eat anything felt like the motility was at a standstill like gastroperesis even some GI bleed. Had my hernia acting up. So I have had to go back to levothyroxine which still give me some reaction of fatigue, same feeling I get with lactose ingredients .. I have been wondering why Armour thyroid did that . Now I am waiting on colonoscopy and endoscopy

I hate to watch this because I’m taking Armour Thyroid…😬when I was on other Thyroid meds like Tirosint etc.. I would get strange reaction that would scare me such as light show in my eyes.. hard to explain but I would drink lots of water to get rid of it!

I did best on NatureThroid... I had to switch to Armour after they discontinued it and now I am on NP Thyroid...doing "just ok". Why on earth would they put dextrose (sugar) in Armour?

I ticked that Armour has dextrose. As someone trying to reverse insulin resistance the last thing I need is hidden sugar.
Great NOT! that it has any type of wheat additive as I also have hashimoto
Time to watch more of your videos to try to get a cleaner pill and that insurance will cover.

Opadry = polymer and plasticizer. Also found this: OpaDry is a polymer molecule which is composed of polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene (amongst other things, such as colouring)."

I just started back on Armour a few weeks ago, but i had it compounded at a compounding pharmacy and had them leave out the starch, sugar, talc, and gluten. It costs more but i just don't want those on my body.

Dr Childs, I could Really use ur advice on Hypothyroidism ! Im a 63yr old male, always been uber athetic all my life but Less so in the last 10yrs..Ive got now a much slower metabolism, low heart rate and BP normal or below normal at times..weight gain, and severely diminished eyebrows meaning not just the outer edge is missing but also the inner edge so I basically have just the middle and not even much of that! LOL .. also the hair on my legs is all but gone as well... Ive never been blood tested but just assumed it was hypothyroidism..Ive done the iodine patch test and its gone after 24hrs for sure..how long should it be remaining? is it a sign of concern if its gone in an hr? 24hrs?
Ive tried taking iodine drops and have had strange reactions with my neck starting to swell up the next day..this is only taking 1 drop daily...after a week of this, my neck will swell forcing me to avoid iodine altogether..if I took 4 drop, it would swell within an hr..
So my question is: does it sound like i am having hypothroid symptoms? if so, why isnt iodine Helping? I do take selinium..I am vegetarian.. I do eat gluten foods, bread, pasta ect... any help Much appreciated, just to point me in the right direction...Seldom Ever have I recieved any help when asking authors of videos like urs.. any advice would be so helpful!

Can you review the ingredients in Thyroid S, which is supposed to be similar to Armour?

I have a question, I just started taking armour and they told me I have to wait four hours to take a medicine or vitamin, is that true?

The pills I take are very tiny so I don’t think there are bulking agents

Thank you. I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. The doctor also said I need to start taking iron pills and I'm low in B12. This was helpful cause there is a lot on the counter shelves and idk what to get

I took it. 60mg instant headache that lasted until a week after I stopped taking it altogether. Dr gave me 90mg. Heart palpitations, elevated pulse, elevated BP. One morning I had to call paramedics my heart was pounding so hard and fast. Dr lied to get me to take it. Said if I got off wheat I wouldn't have a problem. I had so many problems I was taking it before bed so I could sleep through the numerous side effects like shaking and dizziness. Cold turkeyed on my own after 3 months. Felt like suing Dr.

I tried Armour Thyroid instead of Levothyroxine and it acted like a “flash and fizzle” out. I was so hyper right after taking it, then 4 hours later I was so darn tired.

My doctor has me on Armor but I had to stop bc it made my legs fill heavy. Wondering if anyone else has felt this? It felt horrible.
