These Armour Thyroid Ingredients Will Surprise You

Armour thyroid is one of the most popular natural desiccated thyroid medications on the market. For that reason, we are going to be taking a close look at both the inactive and inactive ingredients found inside of this thyroid medication to see what it’s actually made of.

I plan to do this for all thyroid medications and if you’d like to see my previous video on levothyroxine ingredients you can find that here:

When it comes to active ingredients, Armour thyroid contains the following:

Standardized doses of T4 and T3 and non-standardized doses of T2, T1 (probably), and calcitonin. These are active hormones found inside of this medication. A non-standardized dose just means that it’s probably found in there but they don’t ensure any sort of level between lots.

The inactive ingredients include calcium stearate, dextrose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, and opadry white.

If you are having issues with Armour thyroid it is almost certainly due to the inactive ingredients as opposed to the active ingredients and the problem can usually be solved by simply switching to a different version of NDT.

Aside from Armour, you can also look into NP thyroid as well as Adthyza which is a relatively new NDT medication.
