Armour vs t3/t4 compounded

[Bryan_K77]

I can’t seem to find a benefit to using Armour or other similar NDT over a compounded t3/t4 combo of an ideal ratio. Seems like Armour will always be inconsistent because it is made from pig thyroid I believe, measured in grains and not mg’s. Why risk a potentially bad batch of Armour instead of synthetic t3/t4, especially given how much cheaper it is?

I would have to agree with you. I think it's a lot easier to dose with T3 T4, then with armour. Plus the savings in dollars, makes it an easy choice.

I would trust the Armor over compounded. Armor is made in an industrial lab setting with rigorous quality control. The amounts used in compounded thyroid products are micrograms. Microgram amounts are so small as to nearly invisible to the naked eye. God help you if they screw up and give you an overdose. Dr. Alan Christianson has story about someone getting an overdose on compounded thyroid. Almost killed the patient. They had to induce a coma for many weeks.

They did have substantial quality issues w/ pig thyroid back when Armor was first produced. But those days are gone and desiccated thyroid is made to close tolerances now. Such that I am confident that I would never by overdosed by a pharmacy screw up.

NDT also has T1 + T2 in it. But plenty of guys do just fine on compounded T4/T3, so not sure how big of a role T1 + T2 play.

Also, to ur comment in the other thread, I 100% got that info from Jordan grant lol
