Brief Answer:
Hello. It should be taken on an empty stomach

Detailed Answer:
Hello. The best way to take Armour thyroid is first thing in the morning with a full glass of water and to wait an hour before eating. If that's not convenient for you, it needs to be taken one hour before or two hours after eating to ensure full absorption.

Please let me know if you need any more information.
