I am on Armour also but have to supplement with a compunded T3. I learned about the necessity of iodine and began taking some of that. My last blood work showed that the Armour could be decreased, which showed that the iodine was filling a need I had.

I had plenty of Armour so wanted to cut them to decrease the dosage. It was mentioned that they crumble. Boy, you ain't kiddin'!

@Teddie If you want to try the Acella NP I thinks it's pretty close to the original Armour. You can cut those in half.

I always wondered if I needed some iodine. The doctor was going to check mine & decided not to. He said you could not be low with all the salt in processed foods, fast foods etc. We don't eat much fast food, don't use iodized salt, & stay away from as much processed foods as possible. We will use fresh or frozen when available. When we use salt we use Himalayan Sea Salt.

Thanks @Nightowlz  I'm trying to cut my pills into 2/3 and then using 2 of the 1/3.  Such a pain!  And like I said, they're not cutting well. 

From what I understand about iodine, salt doesn't provide what we need, even the iodized version. I'm currently taking about 37.5 mg capsules.  The Japanese women get much higher amounts of iodine and do very well.   

Right now I have sea salt but have been wanting to get the Himalayan pink salt so that'll be next.  

This article is good and may help you with deciding what you want to do about getting more iodine.  Best wishes to you!
