If you are willing to eat American pork products, you shouldn't be any more concerned about Armour thyroid, as far as risk of mad cow disease. Caution is encouraged, however, with over-the-counter glandular supplements, which may contain unregulated meat products from areas of Europe known to have mad cow infected livestock.

A detailed exploration of this topic, the safety of those ingredients, and how cautious you need to be when considering over-the-counter glandular supplements is featured online.
