Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hi Dawn, it was t-lyph that I started with but, in the end, I had to get armour as the t-lyph just wasn't strong enough for my needs (I have been undiagnosed hypo for years) You know, if you wanted to try desiccated thyroid you could buy generic armour from Mexico for less than you pay for your glandular. There is a set shipping charge so it pays to order a lot at once. Lynda T-lyph Darn thought I was doing well there I hadn't thought they were that high strength when I started taking them just wanted something to start kicking in until I could get sorted, and they are certainly working well, given the state of my brain I must have misunderstood him.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 If that is dessicated thyroid, then it is natural thyroid and it is certainly OVER 2 grains. It's kind of like the Nutri-Meds thyroid supplement. They cannot legally claim that it has exactly this or that because then, it would come under the scrutiny of the government, and they would make them apply for prescription status. I think that the Nutri-Meds has much less in one tablet than a grain (correct me if I'm wrong), but this is where they ALmost got in trouble awhile back, so they have corrected their description of it, as a " supplement " . It doesn't mean that it's not thyroid, though. I would not want the parotid glands though.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Dawn, myrxforless sells the generic armour 2 grains is $7.95 per 100, 1 grain is $6.95 per 100. International shipping is a flat rate $12.95 so it pays to order for several months in one go. Legally you can import for 3 months personal use but as nobody knows what my daily dose is they can't check (I suppose if you were bringing in huge amounts they would object) I have been taking genuine armour but I am going to switch to the generic as it is so much cheaper. t-lyph Ahh so that's how you know so much about it :-) It probably won't be for me in teh end I suspect. I wasn't sure if the Mexico company imported to teh Uk how much does it cost you Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
