Common Questions and Answers about Armour thyroid vs nature throid

armour-thyroid

Hello and Happy 4th of July! I am sure many of you on Armour have heard about the changes that were done with this med in the Spring of this year. It's not been good for many people lately and it seems the list of unhappy Armour users is growing. I - for one - am not happy with the results I have had with the new Armour formula.

Was taking a generic dessicated Thyroid, now switching to Nature Throid. This generic was 65 mg per grain like Nature Throid, both have the same T4 and T3 amount per grain as old Armour. The extra 5mg must be non-active fillers ect, means nothing really. For any of you that switched, did you take the same amount of grains per day if taken with water? I take 2.5 grains two days and 2 grains the other 5 day per week of the generic.

On the conversion chart on the natur-throid site you would take the same as the armour. I wanted to know if anyone is taking the natur-throid instead of the armour and how they are doing on it? Thanks for any input.

Should I continue the levothyroxine and wait to start Nature-throid or start taking the Armour now and transition to Nature-throid? I am concerned that due to the different fillers in Armour and Nature-throid, that the transition may be harder than expected because of the difficulty with absorption of the new Armour (if that’s what I was given). The Armour I have is a white pill, with an “A” on it, enclosing a mortar and pestle. The letters “TE” are under the “A”.

The supplement is called nature-throid, but it is the same as nature thyroid. I did confirm with the doc that it is 9 mcg of t3 Thanks!

I've heard that more Nature Throid is needed versus Armour. Is that what others have found? Dr. I have doesn't know much about dessicated but will prescribe it. I have tried several different meds. Armour (2006 -until reformulated) did okay, never felt wonderful and labs were never where they should be changed to NT 130mg 1 dose (8-09-09) felt worse changed to Synthroid 137mcg (12-15-10) hypo he!!

Hello. I'm writing from Stockholm, Sweden and I tried Armour thyroid for a while. It's very hard for us in Sweden to get hold of armour thyroid or erfa from the States nor Canada. So I have to make my desicions wisely. When I took Armour Thyroid (The new Armour Thyroid) I felt "foggy" all the time and I lost hair rapidly. I quit the treatment and am now thinking about switching to either nature thyroid or Erfa. I don't know which one's better.

I did stop the Armour and the doctor prescribed Nature Throid to use in the same manner. I did stop the iodine (which I'm really deficient in blood and hair test) . Is the schedule he said correct or should I stay on a dose longer? Today was my first day on it , I didn't have any of the previous issues with nausea, appetite, bath trips. So, I don't have to take it sublingually.

I took nature throid (its nature - throid not nature thyroid) for about 7 months. I found it to be very harsh, caused my thyroid to swell, gave me headaches, and caused me to have trachea pain. I have tried many of the natural thyroid hormones including armour, erfa, and nature throid and for me personally nature throid was the one that caused me so much discomfort i decided to have the total thyroidectomy.

m wondering what the difference is between Nature-Throid and the WP Thyroid as the only thing I can tell is the fillers does anyone know? Maybe I should call the company as they are both made by RLC Labs. I will let you know what I find out if anyone is interested.

I TOOK CHROMIUM FOR MANY YEARS , BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING DESSICATED THYROID IN VARIOUS FORMS ( ARMOUR, NATURE-THROID, GENERIC). THIS WAS TO HELP WITH ADVERSE EFFECTS OF EATING, ( IF TIRED, OR UNDER STRESS I FEEL HORRIBLE AFTER EATING) AFTER STARTING DESSICATED THYROID MY HAIR STARTED TO FILL IN NOTICEABLY.... THIS WAS WHILE TAKING THE CHROMIUM PIC. THEN RECENTLY I RAN OUT OF IT FOR A WHILE, SO DID NOT TAKE IT ALONG WITH THE NEW ARMOUR THYROID FORMULATION FOR A PERIOD.

I will not be trying her on the new reformulated Nature-Throid as the new reformulated Armour failed her and the changes made in N.T. now are very similar to the changs made in Armour last year. Not going there again! I'm switching her over a little at a time to the Erfa. So far we've made it up to 1 grain with no problems. I'll keep tweeking it up over the next few weeks, slowly replacing the N.T.

call your local pharmacy and ask who is prescribing lots of synthroid or maybe even ask who is prescribing armour and nature throid. the guys who are prescribing armour and nature throid are probably more well versed on thyroid than those just prescribing synthroid. If you don't have any luck with that, call a compound pharmacy in your area and ask who they recommend. THis is a good way to find a good practitioner in your area. I found my dr. this way and love her.

Has anyone had trouble getting Armour thyroid? And does anyone familiar with compound armour?

I was on Armour, then switched to Nature Throid when Armour reformulated (but didn't know I would need a larger dose than on Armour so I didn't feel any better.). My mom convinced me to switch to Synthroid. I absolutely hated it! Terrible hypo symptoms plus awful joint aches (felt like an OLD 90 yr old). Even tried adding T3 Cytomel, helped some but still had some joint pain. Switched back to Nature Throid, upped the dose and pain is gone!
