[QUOTE="Dave Barry, post: 4877, member: 117"] Some thyroid medication such as Nature-Throid and Armour (as compared to Synthroid) are more conducive to crushing/chewing since they are softer and have no coating. It will be absorbed faster sublingually (some people claim they need less medication) if you keep it under your tongue for 10-15min (I am guessing the time). However, you will end up swallowing some of the tablet so you will still run into absorption competition with the meds/vitamins/fiber as listed above. Personally, I would not take the chance, unless several studies showed it made no difference (mixing with Nelson's list) as well as my blood-work boar out no difference. Also, if you are going to crush your thyroid medication (manufacture's do not recommend it), you should do it all the time so it's apparent through blood-work that you are using the correct dosage. Finally, since Armour has a very short half-life (Dr. Mercola suggests splitting dosage and taking 2x/day), crushing it will only shorten (due to faster absorption) it more so you'd be better off crushing Nature-Throid, since it has a longer half-life, if you are going to experiment imo.
