NOW Foods Supplements, Thyroid Energy™, Iodine and Tyrosine plus Selenium, Zinc and Copper, 180 Veg Capsules

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.

This stuff is legit. About 30 or so mins after taking it, I get mentally clarity and a subtle energy boost. I’ve tried at least 4 other thyroid supplements and they all had unpleasant side effects. Also, I checked for bugs like the other person stated & I didn’t have any. A lot of things could’ve factored into that so don’t let it deter you from getting this product. It actually helps.

When used consistently this has helped support my sluggish thyroid and weight fluctuations. Maybe it is the combination of nutrients. It does seem to help with my energy levels.

This product contains iodine in the form of sea kelp. The thing about iodine is that your thyroid needs it to function, but too much can actually make your thyroid WORSE. If you have Hashimoto's Syndrome, don't take this. If you have been medically diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I'd consult a doctor before taking this. If, like me, you have been tested and told your thyroid is fine, but still feel many of the effects of low thyroid such as fatigue, brittle hair and nails, difficulty concentrating, and difficulty losing weight when eating a calorie deficit, it may be that you aren't getting enough iodine. Even a healthy thyroid won't work if it can't get what it needs. The average american doesn't get much iodine in their diet unless they regularly cook with iodized salt, and we drink fluoridated water, which can keep your body from absorbing as much iodine as it normally would. I enjoy this formula, the B vitamins help give it an extra kick, I definitely feel more energetic when I take it- it's easier to focus and easier to stick to a diet. I'll be buying it regularly.

Since everyone's bodies are different, all I'm going to say is that this product does work to improve my energy level. You will have to try to see if it works for you.

I don't know if I can continue taking these because the taste and smell of the capsule makes me gag! They are also large and not easy to swallow, especially since they trigger my gag reflex, which made me sspit the first one out! Push comes to shove I may try honey with them, otherwise I'll have to find anther product!

This is working well surprisingly... I always have cold hands and feet and even my chest skin is super cold, and I get into an infection every two or three months and have sinusitis going on all the time. I sleep super long after heavy workout. My doctors kept telling me I'm fine but I know things are not. I had a bad cold going on for almost a month and since I started taking the Thyroid Energy, the cold went away in less than a week, faster than ever before. I excised more but slept less. Then I stopped taking it and my cold feet, cold chest skin and drowsy sleeps came back again. The day I started it again, I feel blood flows immediately to my lower body and my chest.

almost a month now using this capsule, and its feels good

I’ve been taking this as directed for a couple of months now. I have thyroiditis. Dieting and exercising. There has been no benefit whatsoever. I’ve actually put on a little bit of weight.

I don’t know about it’s Benifits but I can’t take this pill 💊 very bad smell 👃 I throw it in garbage

Not a fan of the brand anymore. Cheaper items tend to come with a higher price down the line.
