Slow Release Armour?

[Guest guest]

In my country (Australia), Armour Thyroid is only available through

compounding chemists in capsule form. As such, I could get SR version

if I wanted.

Would SR Armour be a good idea so I could just dose twice daily

(morning and night), or is it a bad idea and I should stick to standard?

I figure the SR Armour would mean the T3 in it would be released

gradually which would be good? T4 of course doesn't really matter

seeing as it has a longer halflife...

I am ver leery of sr thyroid. I had no louck with it and if it is not

compounded VERY carefully it loses potency. Are you certain ARMOU in

capsules? It sounds to me like a T4/T3 combo .

Hi Val,

It's definitely Armour. I looked into it and the raw Armour

pharmaceutical powder is shipped over here to compounding chemists as

they are the only ones who sell it here. You can't buy Armour in

bottles here etc. It's just called 'Natural Thyroid Extract' when it's

scripted, but it's definitely Armour.

I trust my chemist he's basically the leading expert in Aus on all this

type of medicine so I'm sure his compounds are accurate. I'll ask him

about SR Armour on my next consult with him - I assume he doesn't think

it necessary as he didn't specify 'SR' when he prescribed my Armour, I

just thought I'd see what you thought
