Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi Lynne, here is my compounded story: I was on original Armour just peachy for 20 years, then they reformulated, tried new Armour n Naturethroid, but both made me itchy, probably the cellulose (I am very chemically sensitive), so I went to compounded. I get mine with rice flour as a filler (because acidophilus was too expensive, altho I preferred it; they refused to use bicarb of soda, which was my second choice, so I stuck with the rice flour), and a hypoallergenic capsule without dyes, colorants, or soy, or MSG. I don't really like compounded, but synthetics will be my last resort. I really dislike the labs that reformulated our old Armour and Naturethroid! To avoid any chance of MSG or soy in the capsule (either can be in gelatin, animal or veg), I open it under my tongue and pour out the contents, and try to let it absorb without swallowing, n throw away the capsule. My suggestion would be to initially go with a slightly higher Rx for compounded than the tablets you were on, which would probably then be about equal.-- in my experience. There are other folks here who know a lot more than I do, but this is my experience. Good luck~~ Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
