Product Overview
Armour Thyroid is a distinguished thyroid replacement therapy that offers a natural alternative to synthetic hormone treatments. Derived from porcine thyroid glands, it contains a combination of T4 and T3 hormones, closely mimicking the natural hormones produced by your body. This comprehensive approach to thyroid health supports and regulates thyroid function, addressing symptoms of hypothyroidism such as fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity. Armour Thyroid is designed for individuals seeking a holistic option for thyroid hormone replacement, aiming to restore balance and enhance well-being.
Armour Thyroid is a natural thyroid hormone replacement medication made from desiccated porcine (pig) thyroid glands. It contains a combination of both T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine) hormones, which are identical to the hormones produced by the human thyroid gland. This contrasts with many synthetic thyroid medications, which often only contain T4. Armour Thyroid is designed to provide a more natural approach to thyroid hormone replacement, offering both T4 and T3 to support thyroid health.
Armour Thyroid is taken orally, usually once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Follow your healthcare provider’s dosage instructions closely and avoid taking calcium or iron supplements within four hours of the dose, as they may affect absorption.
While Armour Thyroid is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, especially if the dose is not correctly adjusted. Potential side effects can include heart palpitations, increased appetite, weight loss, sweating, and nervousness. It's important to start with a low dose and gradually adjust based on your body's response and thyroid hormone levels, under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
