NOW Foods Supplements, Thyroid Energy™, Iodine and Tyrosine plus Selenium, Zinc and Copper, 90 Veg Capsules

I started taking these because I have borderline Hypothyroidism. At the time I started taking these I had ran out of my Levothyroxin prescription and recently switched doctors and my new doctor didn't agree I had Hypothyroidism. So, I sought a more natural approach to increase energy, lose weight, and manage my intolerance to cold. So, I've been taking it for over half a year now, and even though I was re-prescribed Levothyroxin a couple months ago I've continued to keep taking it. I decided to take one pill a day instead of two, because I wanted to play it safe, especially now that I'm back on Levothyroxin. It actually works very similar to Levothyroxin for energy. In that it gives a tiny boost of energy, barely enough to notice, but just enough to feel like, yeah, I feel a little better. I didn't notice any major differences with weight loss, but I didn't notice that with Levothyroxin either. My cold tolerance is a little better, and, I have been checking my temperature every so often and now instead averaging 96 or 97 something, I'm now more likely to be 97 or 98 something. Now, here's the weird part, my bra size before starting these vitamins was 50C, which I always felt was a somewhat small cup size for my body type, and small compared to my sister's breast size, but as of today? It is a whopping 48DDD! How am I sure it was the Thyroid Energy vitamins? Well first of all I started taking them at 23 and a half years old, too old for a growth spurt. The growth didn't start until after I began taking them. I didn't gain any weight in the time span. I saw my doctor and had my hormones checked(which were all in the normal range), and had pregnancy ruled out. I became suspicious of the Thyroid Energy vitamins because they were the only new thing I was taking at the time, so when I ran out at one point with a cup size of 48DD and didn't get a new bottle for another month, it was the perfect opportunity to see what would happen, and my breasts stopped growing, shortly after starting up on the Thyroid Energy vitamins, they started growing again! Now at 48DDD my bra is starting to feel snug but I think the growing has finally stopped. I'm not totally sure why they stimulated breast growth in me, when obviously most women didn't have that side-effect. Apparently L-Tyrosine and Folate can both increase bust size. Although from what I gather they don't cause very much growth, maybe I'm special, but I believe the reason these vitamins increased my breasts so much was because my hormones were off due to my Hypothyroidism and PCOS, and these vitamins regulated and normalized my hormones so I could have the breast size I was meant to have. It was annoying to keep having to buy new bras, but I am a very large woman and now my breasts finally look like they fit in with the rest of my body. I will continue taking these vitamins, because I feel like they're doing something good to my hormones.

thyroid energy formula has helped with my thyroid problem so much. My hair has grown back in and is much thicker than it was. I have had no side effects at all. I really like this product. I wanted to write a little more of a review so I can help other people. For years I had hair loss and extreme fatigue along with a lot of other symptoms. I was told that all the testing was normal. I had a huge lump in the front of my neck that hurt and the doctor said it was normal. I knew in my heart that something was wrong. I went to another Doctor and on the first visit he said I think you have a thyroid problem. he did tests and the result was my thyroid was no longer working at all. I was so happy that I almost started crying with relief. I knew my life was going to be so much better. I was put on medication and it helped a little. I was frustrated so I started looking for a more natural remedy. I started taking the now brand thyroid supplement. I felt better within two weeks and I get better every day. I have my old life back now and can do the things that I used to do. If writing this review helps someone who is suffering, that will rock my world. If you are feeling sick and are being told nothing is wrong go get another opinion now. You can have thyroid problems even though the tests are normal. I had to sleep with a c-pap machine at night because the goiter in my neck was so big it narrowed my airway. and my old Doctor called that normal. because of the thyroid energy formula the lump is completely gone and I am not on the c-pap anymore. I hope that I have helped someone by writing about my story. hopefully someone else will do the same.

I fancy myself kind of an herbologist, I am really interested in natural cures for just about everything. Everybody is unique and has their own bodily issues that they need to attend to. My story is that I had really bad issues with my reproductive system and in January of this year, I finally got a hysterectomy. Most of my life I have been estrogen dominant and ignorant health care workers just try to throw a Band-Aid on it by prescribing you birth control, which has more hormones and really messes with your body. Also being estrogen dominant makes it almost impossible to lose weight. I have struggled with my weight my whole life, literally from childhood. And I've never been obese by any means, but I've definitely always been curvy and had some meat on my bones, sometimes more than other times. I had to just about starve myself and exercise 5 days a week to see the scale go down. I remember many nights going to bed starving, felt like my stomach was eating itself. It's kind of torturous honestly, and as I've gotten older I've learned to just embrace my 5-ft tall body at 140 lbs. But every woman knows that having a hysterectomy can come with weight gain, that was a huge concern of mine obviously. After my surgery, I had blood work done to check my levels of all my hormones, including thyroid. Of course they only tested TSH, you really need a more thorough panel done to get a bigger picture. My TSH was in the normal range, but I have every single symptom of hypothyroidism so after trying different herbs over the years to balance my hormones, none really giving me the results that I wanted, I decided to try this. Years ago at an appointment when I told my doctor how tired I was all the time, he felt my thyroid and said that it felt enlarged. But I had an ultrasound of it which looked normal. That stuck with me though, I'm not convinced that I don't actually have thyroid issues. So anyway, I figured it couldn't hurt to give this a try. I had put a couple pounds on after my hysterectomy and I've only been taking this supplement for a month, but it has helped me shed those pounds and get back to my starting weight. I have more energy than I did before, and that means I'm getting more done at work and around the house when I get home. And it doesn't feel like I drink 10 cups of coffee or I'm on speed lol, just feels like what I think my body is supposed to feel like, which at this point after being tired and sluggish for so many years, I am just super thankful to have any energy at all! So so far, the supplement is kind of a miracle for me personally. I'm going to keep taking it and I will revise my review in the future if needed. The one thing I will say is that I started with just one pill, and most of the time I do just the one. Sometimes if I have a long day ahead of me and I can space them out pretty far, I will take the two. But I think taking one is a good way to start so you don't overdo it. Believe the other reviewers when they tell you to take this with food! First of all, it tastes super nasty, I'm not sure why because none of the ingredients really forecast that, but trust me it does. But once it gets in your stomach it makes you feel super nauseous, it probably can cause vomiting for some people unless you take it with food. Even a couple spoonfuls of yogurt does it for me, it just can't be on an empty stomach. And if you are going to take the dose of two, space it out as far as you can. I don't like to take it at night because I'm not sure if it will affect my sleep so I take one at 7:00 a.m., and then another at 3:00 p.m.
