0.124 MG synthroid = ? armour thyroid
Raw thyroid (over the counter thyroid supplement) is not the same as Armour Thyroid, which is an FDA approved natural prescription medication.
Dr. Bruce Hoffman in Calgary will prescribe Armour Thyroid for thyroid issues. He is a private doctor, though, so you will be paying out of pocket to see him, and not covered by Alberta Health.
Perhaps you need to switch to Armour Thyroid which is real thyroid and helps with low T3 and T4. The lab tests are faulty. They don't always us the best tests at the labs and many don't test the T4 level. Ask your doctor to switch you to Armour Thyroid. The cost is about the same and you won't be taking a synthetic form of thyroid. The synthetic form does not work well. He could start you out on 2 grains of the armour thyroid. If he does not like the idea then go to a hormone specialist and get better treatment.
No. Armour Thyroid should never be used for weight loss and will not cause weight loss in people with NORMAL Thyroid Function. For people who are HypOthyroid (underactive Thyroid) Armour Thyroid can help them lose weight the way people with normal thyroid lose weight - but only if they are following a diet/exercise regimen. It will not CAUSE weightloss. It will however make it possible for those with Hypothyroid to lose weight - which many could not without Armour.
Armour Thyroid is a natural product that is made from animal thyroid glands. Its main purpose is to treat underactive thyroid conditions, to treat thyroid cancer and to prevent some types of goiters.
1 grain (60 mg) of Armour thyroid contains 9 mcg of T3and 38 mcg of T4.
A drug called cytomel targets T3 better than most other thyroid medication, you may ask your doctor about replacing armour thyroid with it.
Armour thyroid is an extract from the thyroid gland of beef cattle, slaughtered in the Armour meat processing plants. As a result, its active ingredients are not only variable but subject to medical conjecture. In humans, the active thyroid hormones are designated T3 and T4, and these have been available in synthetic form for over 30 years. Nonetheless, a percentage of humans with hypothyroidism remain clinically refractory to treatment with synthetic thyroid hormone, and yet appear to fare much better on armour thyroid, thus raising at least a conjecture that an as yet unidentified molecule in beef thyroid bestows a benefit on this group of patients. All are readily available in pharmacies throughout the US, so discussion with one's physician may be warranted if the symptoms of hypothyroidism persist despite adequate replacement with synthetic thyroid hormone (thyroxine, sold under the brand names Synthroid or Levoxyl).
Thyroid supplementation is very individualized. There is no one specific dosage for adults or children. Patients are tested and examined frequently until their labs improve and their symptoms are minimized.
There isn't an armour called ''god armour'' But if you mean Zamorak Saradomin and Guthix,you can log in and check.
Your doctor will determine if you need to be on Armour Thyroid which is used to raise the level of T4 hormone. Speak to your physician.
