Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I've been on two types other than Armour... and a few months back I got some Armour to stretch my stash of Natural.... Armour dissolves 'cleaner' and tastes a bit sweeter... oh, by cleaner I mean it doesn't have a coating and dissolves all the way. Other than the slight sweet of the Armour, they all taste the same.... I have one more new one to try, it smells the same. I react pretty quickly to change, and so far the only difference I've noticed between the ones that I've tried so far is that the OTC from Nutri-Meds was not as strong as the prescription brands, but then that was pretty much a given. The brand that I've used for most of the last 2 1/2 years since I've been self treating is Time Cap Labs brand. The first year, before Time Caps, I was on Nutri-meds. The next brand that I'll be checking out is Qualitest. When I'm able to order again, if I can't find a source for Time Caps, I'll most likely be going with Thyroid-S. For me, it's a financial thing... I want good quality, but have to look at price, too. For anyone though, if the brand that you are taking is doing the job, don't go swapping brands around, depending on how you react to the different fillers it can throw off your levels and you do need to retest six weeks after a brand change, to see how your body is responding. When I do my unofficial layman's version of testing the different brands... I chart myself through it and journal my reactions. The test that I did between Nutri-Meds and Time Caps took a couple of months to determine... My pathetic body tends to react pretty quickly if a med is much different, even if I am late with a dose my body tells me (remember, I'm the one that doses six times a day). Yahoo has been bouncing my emails this morning... So I'm playing catch up.... now that they are coming through again, it only took five hours to get it going again! arrggghhhhh I'll have to get to the group site to see what I've missed...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I'm wanting to stay on the brand I'm on... I know it works with me ya know?? The trick is getting my doc to rx it with my labs in normal ranges... we'll see how it goes. *cross fingers* I'm supposed to get a call back from him today about the adrenal support but I'm thinking I won't go messing with it, I'll hit him up for the extra 1/4-1/2 a pill a day deal. Charting reactions, calling him if there's a problem, etc. Re: Armour dosage So do most of you take generic or Armour? Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
