Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi, I am confused over how to take Armour. Two separate articles in the files section contradict each other. One says to take Armour sublingually the othe artical says Erfa is the only NDT designed to be taken sublingually and other brands must be swallowed. Can anyone advise on this? xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 The original formulae of Armour was designed specifically to be taken sublingually. Forest (the manufacturers) then decided a couple of years ago to reformulate Armour and they removed some of the dextrose and added in more cellulose. This stopped Armour being able to be taken sublingually and now you have to chomp it up with your teeth and then swallow it. Nature Throid and Westhroid are also designed to be taken orally, but Erfa Thyroid (the Canadian Licensed 'Thyroid') was designed to be taken sublingually. As far as I am aware, even though some people say they take other brands sublingually, Erfa is the ONLY brand designed specifically to do so. Luv - Sheila Hi, I am confused over how to take Armour.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi This was interesting to me as i recently wrote saying that i havent been feeling very well at all lately - started taking Armour 2 wks ago. I now wonder if this is partly due to the fact that I have just been swallowing the armour with water and not chomping it first?? so thanks for your question which Sheila has answered Shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I don't chomp mine up, just swallow it whole and it works for me. YMMV.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 We are all different and it's good that it works for you - it does for some, but for those it doesn't, we advise them to chomp the tablet to bits and then swallow drinking plenty of water or orange juice. Sheila I don't chomp mine up, just swallow it whole and it works for me. YMMV.
