Re: Sublingual was no good for me

[Guest guest]

Fee, how were you doing your sublingual method?? Were you spacing it

out during the day? Because you could get it all done in the morning

and get the same great results you are getting now...and more.

Biologically, it is factually more advantageous to do your med

ssublingually since nearly 100% of the hormones are used by going

directly to the bloodstream and bypassing the acids in the stomach

and the processing of the liver.

You are also losing out on some of the calcitonin by swallowing due

to your stomach acids.

It's not that swallowing will hurt you, at all! It will work. You

are just not getting the full benefit that sublingual gives you.

Let us know...I am very curious.

Hi Carol!!! It may not be the sublingual that's not working for you.

It might be that you just need to take all your thyroid in the

morning, but still sublingually.

Biologically, sublingual method of introducing meds to the body has

a factual result. It bypasses the acids of the stomach and the

processing of the liver. So maybe it's " when " you do it, rather than

how??

Hi Janie. I do understand the reason for sublingual. However, if it

works better for someone doing it the other way I just thought it

might do so for me. Not that it makes any sense as to why. LOL I have

been taking it all in the morning. I was dividing it but kept

forgetting and eating cheese or milk. So I gave up and take it all in

the A.M. so I don't have to worry about food the rest of the day. I'm

still going the allergy route. If it doesn't make a difference to

swallow it I will go back the other way for sure. Thanks. Hugs, Carol

Hiya Carol,

I can't really answer your question as I was always swallowing the

Armour & was fine, but then switched & tried taking it sublingually

for the last 10 days, which I didn't get on so good with. Today I

went back to just swallowing it again & I seem to be back on track

already.

My opinion is that different meds work better taken in different ways

for different people! I understand Armour isn't designed to be taken

sublingually - not meaning it can't be - but maybe in some people it

is better swallowed.

A girl from another group sent me this link from ThyroidUK:

" One major advantage of taking drugs sublingually or buccally is that

the hepatic first-pass metabolism is bypassed so buccal/sublingual

administration provide improved delivery for drugs that are

inactivated by liver enzymes. I would guess that thyroid meds need

to reach the liver as quickly as possible for conversion purposes, so

oral administration might be more effective. "

Hi Janie super star,

Janie, I tried a couple of ways, 2 grains at around 7.30am, then 1 at

12pm, then I tried in 3 doses, say 7.30, 11.30, 2.30. I really feel

I gave it a good shot sublingually but maybe for certain people

there's something in the thyroid meds needing to reach the liver as

quickly as poss for conversion purposes via the stomach?

I will be going up to 3.5 then 4 grains soon... can't wait to feel

well, it's been nearly 5 months now since I first went on Armour,

it's great.
