Thyroid Helper

[Sathiera]

Hey there,
My name is Lauren and I have PCOS and Hypo-thyroidism....talk about DOUBLE whammie!!  I was on Levothyroixin but decided one day to stop taking it...long story.  I have been off my meds for about 6 weeks now and just had my blood tested last week.  It turns out my thyroid is still low, but not as low as I thought it could have been.  So my Dr actually said it would be ok to use a supplement instead of a synthetic hormone.  I just ordered Thyroid Helper.  Has anyone else tried it??

I've never heard of it. I ran into a lady not long ago and she was telling me how she doesn't take her thyroid meds and just changed her lifestyle and she's enevr had any probs with her thyroid levels. But me, no, I can't eat only organics and watch my food and stuff lol

I found it at http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/thyroid_helper.php
I did some research online and found this was the number 3 supplement out there for the thyroid.  It was an "independent" study and Thyroid Helper was the least expensive out of the top supplements so I thought I would give it a try. 
I was diagnosed in May of 2004 and I have been taking Levothyroixin ever sense...it was harder for me to lose weight when I was on it...frustrating!  I'm hoping this new supplement will help turn things around :o)

i tried thyroid helper and it made me worse. It was the kelp...too much for my body. I was actually gaining too on it soi found another one called "Thyroid Assist" costs $35.00 and has worked wonders for me with my symptoms (feeling cold,extreme fatigue,weak joints & muscles,lack of energy,low sex drive/libido,moods swings,skin problems) only thing left is weight loss.My goal is 20 pounds

I just saw these posts on Thyroid helper and wanted to point out that this product from wellness resources does not contain kelp. You can buy iosol iodine separately; they actually discourage the use of iodine from kelp since it can clog the thyroid gland and cause negative side effects. I have been taking thyroid helper for about 3 months now and have been feeling really good - increased energy, no more cold hands and some weight loss. I got the full package they offer for 25% off, not just the thyroid helper.

I tried Thyrotsim and it was really good! I felt really great but since we are trying to get pregnant I stopped taking it... not sure if this kind of suppliment is OK while trying or preggo!
