Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
Armour thyroid contains thyroid hormones and is used to treat hypothyroidism or under active thyroid.
Armour or levothyroxine is the only treatment of hypothyroidism and there is no need for other supplements.
Levothyroxine is used in most of the cases, rarely is armour suggested.
So if you are being treated with Armour, there is no need for levothyroxine ( that is taken with empty stomach ) or other supplements.
Hope the information will be helpful.
Kind regards,
