Hello all,
Does taking a Calcim supplement and Armour thyroid together effect absorbtion of Armour?
I had a guy with tsh 70 on and incredible high dosage of t4. Examined his diet and changed his breakfast from 15 grams of fiber, protein shake, egg whites to egg whites and cream of rice. In 3 weeks tsh dropped to 5 and he had dropped 18 lbs. For calcium 4 hours away from armour would be the safest best. If it is calcium carbonate it will be more likely to bind. If you have yogurt for breakfast or other milk products this will bind with the thyroid as well as excessive fiber, coffee, iron. Even fortified cereal can cause absorption issues with thyroid.

I knew that calcium could reportedly cause absorption issues, but have never heard that coffee can create and issue. I struggle with calcium being an issue, because it seems like it is in pretty much everything.
Any Armour type med taken with calcium or Iron will cause a problem this is why we on Armour the old kind we put it under are tongue. Now the new Armour is diff. and will gag you. So most to the people I help with Thyroid problems are taking this and they can put it under there tongue so they don’t have to worry about when they eat calcium or took an iron pill.
