LES Labs Thyroid Support – Metabolic Health, Thyroid Hormone Production, Energy & Focus – Iodine, L-Tyrosine, Ashwagandha, Selenium & Turmeric – Non-GMO Supplement – 60 Capsules

I originally tried this supplement to see if I could improve energy and to not feel so sluggish. I think one other reviewer described it best as "walking through mud". I am not a fan of needles, don't want to be on any more prescribed medications that I have to, and didn't feel bad enough that I needed a thyroid test, so I wanted to see that if I have some deficiencies in thyroid performance, then perhaps a supplement would work. I have been taking this supplement for almost two months. I have noticed changes in how I feel. I feel more energetic, I'm sleeping better, my mood has improved, my weight has stabilized, and my muscles feel more responsive. I did have a minor drop in results when I was on an antibiotic, so if you are taking this and have to go on an antibiotic, you might think that the supplements isn't working. You also won't feel results immediately, so please be patient and keep taking them. After the antibiotic regiment, which happened about the second week I was taking the supplement, it took another week or so afterwards to balance out. I do say definitely within the first month you should notice differences. However, I will note that if you are expecting a drastic change, this isn't the item for you. I don't think that was its intended use anyways. Also, like many people have already stated, if you take this on an empty stomach, chances are within a few minutes you will feel nauseous. Eat something, like a meal, then take the supplement. Overall, a decent product, especially if you want to try something simple before just concluding you must have a thyroid issue, going to the doctor, and being prescribed medication. Combined with some lifestyle changes too (I do suffer from acid reflux as well so I'm trying out a wedge pillow), I feel awake, alert, and ready to take on the day.

Just received it and I’m writing a review to receive a bonus bottle. The product arrived quickly and without incident. I am hopeful that it works for me and plan on updating this review as I get a better sense of its effect. Update 1 Month Later: I've had some ongoing issues with sleep (insomnia, waking mid-night, exhaustion yet unable to sleep), stubborn weight (despite healthy eating and exercise) and high-stress levels. I have started to notice more and more signs of a weakening thyroid and wanted to address that before it became a major problem. After doing some research I bought a few separate herbs for this issues (zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, and B12) but when I needed to reorder I found this mix that included those and then some and decided to try them as a combination rather than separate. I figured and it has proven to be a more cost-effective option. To be fair, I also ordered two other supplements from the same company (cortisol health and insulin health) and began taking them at the same time. I take the Cortisol health (along with extra iodine and probiotics) at night and the insulin and thyroid support in the morning (along with some extra Vit. D and magnesium.) Because I started several new products at one time I have a difficult time attributing anything miraculous to just one, however, after about a month of taking this I can say a few things: -After one night of adding the Cortisol health to my nightly routine, I had the best sleep I've gotten in years. Between the three mixes, I find that I sleep longer, deeper, wake more rested and feel more energy through the day. -Since adding the three LES Labs mixes (Cortisol, Insulin, and Thyroid) I lost 7 lbs, a triumph after 4 months of intentional healthy eating and exercise with no results. -One important note: this mix contains copper, which is essential to supplement when taking zinc as zinc can cause your body to dump copper. However, taking copper can be a little tricky. I always take this with either a big breakfast or lunch. Failing to take it with food can lead vomiting. On one occasion I took it too long before eating breakfast on a basically empty stomach and got sick for the first time in many years. My sister also experienced the same issue once when the only food she had eaten was a smoothie. Apparently, this is a very common side effect of copper and I'm glad I had read about it prior to this incident. As long as I take it with food I've had no other issues. In summary, I do highly recommend this supplement as a piece of the puzzle of health. Most people with thyroid problems also have issues elsewhere (cortisol and insulin resistance among others). It helps to understand how these issues are connected and address them as a whole. There is no magic pill and the best thing you can do for your body is eat healthily and exercise, this won't replace that. However, I did find that my body needed a little extra support and with that, the healthy lifestyle I was living worked a lot better. These aren't the types of issues that go away overnight or even with one bottle. It took years for my body to get off balance and I expect it will be a journey back to full health, but this product is part of that for me.

I have several autoimmune disorders including Hashimoto's, Lupus & Psoriatic arthritis. Hashimoto is an autoimmune problem where the immune system attacks the thyroid resulting in hypothyroidism. You don't realize how much in your body is affected by these tiny glands until they quit working properly! Joint pain, fatigue, dry skin, migraines and insomnia are my major symptoms. I have been on prescription thyroid medication but never seemed to feel any better. My doctor recommended several different supplements which I have added over the years until I had a huge pile that I was taking on a daily basis. This supplement includes most of those vitamins and a few more. Vitamin D is always a good supplement and Selenium, Copper and Zinc were also recommended by my doctor to promote thyroid function. This supplement has vitamin, D, E, B12 Zinc, Selenium, Copper, L-Tyrosine and Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha was a new one to me but apparently it can help with both hypothyroid issues and Hashimoto's due to its thyroid hormone balancing effect. As far as L-Tyrosine, the thyroid gland combines tyrosine and iodine to make thyroid hormone. Note - if you are taking prescription thyroid hormone medication, you should only take L-tyrosine under the direction of your doctor. L-tyrosine should also be avoided if you have high blood pressure or take MAOIs since it may interact leading to a hypertensive crisis. L-Tyrosine is a precursor for neurotransmitters like dopamine so it may it may interact with or potentiate the effects of other drugs or supplements that are stimulatory as well. Again, always check with your doctor! My endocrinologist approved all of these supplements for me and I always recommend checking with your doctor before taking any new supplement especially if you are on prescription thyroid medication. That said, since starting this supplement, I now feel better than I ever have since I was diagnosed. Not all of my symptoms have resolved but then again, I have other disorders as well that cause similar symptoms. My only complaint is that it tends to make me a bit nauseous about an hour after taking it but I compensate by taking it before bed. I have noticed that my metabolism seems better and my weight has actually gone down 5 lbs. My fatigue is much improved - I don't feel like I have to nap or I will collapse every day anymore. It also is much easier than the handfuls of supplements I was previously taking (often I would forget to even take some of them). I am definitely glad I found this supplement!

I found this product on the internet. Many times, I go straight to Amazon to see if I the product is there, then proceed to reading product reviews. After reading all of the great reviews, I decided to purchase. One review stated that they saw results after the 2nd day. I admit, I was skeptical. I exercise daily, eat a healthy diet, drink lots of water , I am not over weight. However, I had many of the same symptoms, hoarseness , tightness in my throat, night sweats, fatigue etc.I have asked my physician to run thyroid panels ,on more than one occasion. My results were "a normal high" whatever that means. Regardless, I wasn't looking forward to taking any rx for hypo , due to all of the side affects, and back and forth until the right dosage is achieved. I also have botox injections for migraines and one side affect of botox is hoarseness - so I just contributed that to the botox. I couldn't explain away the other symptoms - So, i ordered this product. By the 2nd day, the tightness in my throat was better, my energy level was up, hoarseness was also better. Now, day 3, tightness is completely gone, no hoarseness , haven't experienced any night sweats and my energy level is where it used to be! ONE WORD OF CAUTION - I wasn't sure if i should take on an empty stomach, or take after a meal, so I tried both. On an empty stomach, about 10 minutes after taking it , I felt nauseous. Immediately , at a couple of pretzels and the nausea passed after about 5 minutes. Next day, I ate a slice of toast, and then took it, same thing, a wave of nausea, but it passed in less than 5 minutes. I'm going to wait a bit longer after eating , before taking, to see if that makes a difference. Whatever the case, 5 minutes of nausea beats what I've been dealing with for more than a year! I am so thankful for all of the purchaser reviews, i wouldn't have purchased if not for reading such positive reviews. I would highly recommend this product and will continue taking it.

I am a 43 yo woman with PMDD and hysterectomy 1.5 years ago. I have always suffered from 2 weeks of PMS hell, PMDD, and hoped my hysterectomy would have helped with that but it didnt. A year post hysterectomy, i noticed a significant drop in energy and feeling depressed. I had to talk myself into doing anything and i have a 10 year old and very active 7 year old so i need my energy! I started researching healthy alternatives to improving all of this and started taking supplements to improve my hormones. I did notice a slight improvement but still felt like something was off. I have been struggling with losing the weight, 20 lbs, that I've gained since my surgery and knew I needed to boost my metabolism somehow. Discovered my thryroid could be the problem and found this company. I'm loving this product! Ive been taking it for 2 weeks and I'm very pleased so far. I love this product especially because it doesn't contain any artificial hormones. My energy was through the roof at first but has since leveled out but still there. My skin is less dry as well. Prior to taking this, I was constantly putting on heavy cream on my hands and I haven't had to do that in the past 2 weeks. I'm also having improved mood with little to no irritability however I am also taking supplements to improve my hormone levels. I'm excited to see how this will continue to improve my body and will gladly post another review after I've been taking it for a month.

I ordered this product based on the positive reviews and honestly, this is the first review I have ever written for anything...this stuff works! Background- After my son was born my body swung into hypothyroidism once he switched to formula and milk production ceased. This was four years ago and it has been a wild pendulum since. Two years later, I went in to the doctor feeling very off and was diagnosed with Grave's disease(hyperthyroid). I have not been prescribed medication but monitored with testing bi-monthly. It did eventually balanced itself naturally. A month ago, the hypo-symptoms reared its ugly-head again...weight gain, fatigue, cold extremities, trouble sleeping and even harder time waking. Something told me I should try the homepathic route first before going back into the doctor and so glad I did! I sleep well again, wake up energized and not a lethargic zombie all day. I've been taking consistently for 1.5 weeks, started feeling results within the first 3 days. I went from one capsule to two with my protein shake and one more capsule after dinner. Taking two helped to keep my mind sharp and provides consistent energy throughout the day. This product does not cause anxiety or make you jittery. I feel amazing and able to keep up with my life again. This improvement has given me drive to get back on my ketogenic diet.

So, I have an under active thyroid. I'm trying to stay off of prescription medication and support the thyroid with diet and exercise. I tried this product a few months ago. I took 1 pill a day until I'd finished the bottle. Nothing. I didn't notice any difference in my energy levels, or the size of my thyroid, with became swollen last year. After this product, I began using a liquid, high absorbency iodine and I also began using Irish Moss daily. It's only been about a month now and my thyroid is no longer swollen. I've gone from sleeping 9 hours a night and still feeling exhausted to being just fine on 7 hours sleep and not being tired until the end of the day. I'm even been able to start hiking again on the weekends :) Bottom line is, I can't recommend this product, but there are products out there that do work.

UPDATE #2: I did eventually lose 12 pounds while taking these and my labs have been great. I'm not too low or high on my thyroid levels. When I forgot to take these for a couple of weeks I noticed 3-4 pounds creep back on, but once I reinstituted the Thyroid support again the pounds fell back off and I'm slowly losing more weight every few weeks. Jeans and pants fit looser and my face has stayed leaner and more contoured. UPDATE#1: After one full month I have now noticed the roundness in my face is diminishing and my face is becoming more contoured like it used to look. Also my skin feels less dry and my T-zone on my face is once again oily like it used to always be. For the last many months my face had been pretty dry. I still have not lost weight. I have, in fact, gained 5 pounds, but I'm exercising more with an elliptical trainer so that might be attributed to muscle gain. Will update again after labs at first of May. 03/16/17: I have only started taking these two weeks ago, and will not be getting any thyroid studies taken for at least another month, so I will come back and update this at that time. What I like about these is they do not cause me stomach upset (I am taking them on a full stomach just after dinner or at bedtime a couple of hours later) and there is no disgusting taste. I also like the fact that capsules are nonallergenic since I have multiple food sensitivities. My sister was taking another brand with similar ingredients but hers had kelp in them and since kelp is classified as a shellfish and I am allergic to certain types of shellfish I decided to look around for something without that ingredient and found these. I saw all the reviews about weight loss, better lab values, etc. so I am hoping for the same. So far at 2 weeks in I have not noticed a lot; however, my fatigue is pretty much gone, I am warm all the time now and no longer freezing, my fingernails are growing longer and stronger, I am not losing as much hair when I comb through it post showering, and an annoying itch on both my feet that has been plaguing me for months has suddenly gone away. I can only assume that these are doing some sort of magic with the thyroid considering hair, skin dryness and nail strength are all directly correlated to hypothyroid issues. Keeping my fingers crossed that with some time I will have even better gains.
