I'm on 3 grains. 2 in the morning around 7, and 1 around 1 or 2 oclock. When I up, I will probably add 1/2 grain in the PM first.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Okay guys I'm up to 3 grains of Armour a day and feeling better and better (except I caught some kind of chest cough/cold thing last week), but I still don't think I'm at my optimum level. My question is, those of you who are on more than 3 grains a day, how do you dose? Do you take one grain every three hours over a 12 hour period, do you take more than one grain at a dose time - like 1.5 grain in AM then 1 grain at each dosing period throughout the day, etc. When I'm ready to bump up again, I'm not sure how much to bump (I was thinking a half a grain) or when to place my bump in my day. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take other things that way. I would like to try it. You are using Armour right? Anything special I need to know? nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi nne, I take my Armour sublingually, because that way it gets right into your bloodstream through the little capillaries in your gum tissue. I tuck the pills between my cheek and gum and let them dissolve. It usually takes around 1 hour or so. I think a lot of the hormone is lost when you swallow the pill. Armour has a disintegrate (dextrose) added to its formula, so it dissolves easily. Make sure you take your thyroid hormone at least two hours before or after you take calcium or iron. These minerals bind with the thyroid hormone and therefore you won't get your entire dose. I'd give it a go and see how you like it, nne. Welcome to the group, by the way! So happy to have you here.
