Thyroid Support Complex With Iodine - Energy, Metabolism & Focus Formula - Vegetarian, Soy & Gluten Free - Feel Like Your Old Self Again

Good

Total disappointment...

I have had celiac disease for a few years now and I always thought it was what was making me feel so sluggish all the time. For the last two years I felt like I was running on 50% energy, if that. I'm 25 years old, visit the gym daily, eat healthier than most, I juice fruits and veggies daily. I should have been in excellent health but still felt drained all the time. I was notorious for napping once, sometimes twice a day. A co-worker of mine suggested I look into thyroid problems, so I did some research, talked to my doctor and found that I am more susceptible to thyroid problems because of a lack of immune response caused by the celiac. Upon searching for thyroid vitamin supplements I found this product. It had excellent reviews and it wasn't too expensive. I figured I'd give it a shot, just to see if it made any difference. Used amazon prime and got it in two days. Took one capsule immediately. Having experience in the field of psychology I was very aware of the placebo effect so I remained skeptic of any immediate sensations. After a couple of hours there was no doubt that I was feeling exponentially better than I had. My body no longer hurt, the sluggishness was gone, I didn't feel weak anymore. I doubled my work out time and still didn't feel exhausted afterwords. It was a night and day difference. I've been taking one tablet twice a day for about a week now and my life has changed dramatically. I've gone fro 0 to 60 in a matter of days, my energy is back and better than before. I hadn't realized just how foggy my mind was until I started taking this supplement. I was in a constant depressive haze, when I didn't have work I spent hours laying in bed drifting in and out of sleep, unable to muster up the energy to enjoy my life. Having no experience with any similar products I cannot say that this product is one of a kind, although I can say that it reacted extremely well to my body and produced amazing results. I urge you to do your research too, but upon reading these reviews I think you will find it obvious that this is a superior product for those with thyroid issues.

I ordered this product because I was desperate to find something that would help me get back to my old self - the one who wasn't fuzzy headed and exhausted all the time. Thyroid issues run in my family and it's very difficult to get a doctor to correctly diagnose hypothyroidism or Hashimotos using the World Health criteria vs. the US criteria, which leaves a lot of people with thyroid symptoms without the correct diagnosis and struggling. Several doctors have offered me anti-depressants except I'm tired with no energy and fuzzy headed, but not clinically depressed so what's the point of taking something that isn't going to address the actual potential cause? I've been taking this product for just about 4 weeks now, and here's what I've noticed: My first week in, I noticed I woke easier in the mornings. For someone whose normal morning mode is a complete inability to think or do much of anything until they've drank coffee for a good hour, that was interesting. I still need my coffee, but I'm clearer headed upon waking than I have been in years. By the end of my first week, I noticed my quality of sleep had improved and I actually felt like I was getting sleep, vs waking up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. My second week I noticed a change in my energy levels during the day. I was struggling with an afternoon slump every day at work where I would fight not falling asleep at my desk. It was literally every single day that this was happening. It occurred to me during my 2nd week that my energy levels were sustained during the day, and I wasn't nodding off. First I attributed it to how busy I was, but it's continued and I've been able to get through the day without that extreme exhaustion, save for 2 days right before my cycle started, but even that was not as bad as it normally is. My third week in, and my husband has commented how much more engaged I am when I get home from work, where I used to be so exhausted I couldn't think straight, let alone hold a decent conversation. I also noticed there's far less hair fall out when showering and styling my hair, and my nails which were heavily ridged are starting to smooth out. My energy levels remain at an even level, and I'm finding it easier to focus during the day without being so fuzzy headed that I have to stop and re-think what I'm doing. This is huge since my job is very demanding and requires being able to bounce between multiple major projects with frequent interruptions constantly. My fourth week I'm holding steady with my energy levels, sleeping better and waking easier than I have in years. I can have normal conversations with my husband after work, and I've been able to take on more home projects that I wanted to do but just couldn't get up the energy for. My metabolism had previously slowed to a crawl - I was able to jump start that by following the Ketogenic diet and while that was great for dropping the weight, I also know me, and I'm bad to stick with a diet for any length of time. I'm not strictly following the Keto meal plan any longer, but remarkably, I'm also not packing back on the pounds like I feared I would when I went off the rails. Mind you, I'm not eating a ton of processed foods or junk, and it's easy for me to say no to bread, so that helps, but still...this is the stage where my metabolism would have reverted back and I'd have seen a weight increase of 5 pounds by now. Nope, still maintaining my weight. As with any supplement, I'm leery of it's claimed effects and I was really hesitant to try this but desperation won out. Now I'm kicking myself for not trying this sooner. I'm hopeful that over time I'll see even more energy and benefits since it seems like the effects accumulate bit by bit, at least for me. I will absolutely continue using this supplement since the difference has been night and day for me and I cannot imagine going back to how I felt before this. UPDATE 11-16-2017 I am still using the Thyroid Support Complex and am STUNNED by it's effectiveness. I'm still reaping all the benefits, clearer thinking, stabilized energy through out the day, better sleep, no weight gain (and I realize this is not a weight loss product, but anyone with thyroid issues knows that weight gain and losing weight is a huge problem with a sluggish thyroid) - all in all, my life has improved tremendously. Hair fall out has decreased significantly and my hair is starting to feel thicker again, the nail ridges are almost completely gone, and my tolerance to cold has improved immeasurably. (normally I'm constantly cold) Another surprising (but really awesome) benefit has been the return of my libido, which thrills my husband to no end. I don't see myself ever stopping this supplement, it has given me back my life.

I've suspected I have hypothyroidism for some time now - sudden breakthrough depression, brain fog, fatigue, trouble sleeping, weight gain. While I still intend to see a physician for a diagnosis, I purchased Thyroid Support to see if it would help my symptoms. I figured that if it did help my symptoms, that would confirm that my suspicions of hypothyroidism weren't crazy. For about three weeks now I have been taking two pills a day, as per the label instructions, every morning - without fail. I started to feel improvement within 2-3 days. The earliest improvement was that I slept deeper, and didn't experience brain fog. Within a week, my depression had lessened and I felt more emotionally stable- I'm sure the improved sleep helped. I also had more energy and felt less 'demotivated', especially in the evenings after work when I'd usually just want to sit on the couch and do nothing. Sitting around and doing nothing isn't "me", but it's been my default for the last year or so while I wondered if I had hypothyroidism. So you can imagine my excitement when I found myself doing everything I wanted to do and accomplish (basic tasks like laundry; or cleaning off and redecorating the patio, overdue projects at work, etc) without having to talk myself into it or frowning and sighing the entire time. I will say that three weeks in, the results feel like they may have plateaued a bit, but I still feel much better than I did before - especially with regard to the 'brain fog'. I think it's normal to experience a plateau if not some kind of stabilization of results. I'm getting used to sleeping better, having more energy, and thinking with more clarity, so it's not as much of a shocking difference now that I'm used to it. I do not think this is (nor would I encourage this as) a replacement for prescription hypothyroid medications like Levothyroxine or Synthroid. But it's definitely a valid, legitimate supplement - I think the iodine and selenium are probably among its most effective ingredients. If you're on the fence about whether or not to try it, I urge you to try it. I didn't expect it to have such a fast impact on my mental clarity and focus, or the quality of my sleep. Very impressed.

This supplement really makes a difference for me. I have been using it for some months now and when i run out i just keep coming back to it. I take an arsenal of supplements, all very specific, never really go for the supplements that have a bunch of diff stuff in them as my body will reject most. I am very in-tune with and sensitive to listening to my body and i just cannot ever take an all inclusive supplement. However! i feel that this particular thyroid supplement is just right for me. I have, over time, taken the following as separate supplements; B12, iodine, magnesium (i still take that separately), zinc, selenium (acupuncturist's and natural dr's have always energy tested me and my body was always in need of selenium), and then there are other items that are specifically good for the thyroid (and adrenals...etc) that i have also taken over the years like, schisandra, ashwagandha and kelp. So to find such a nice array of supplements in one AND for my thyroid AND my body accepts it, i really liked that. When i run out or stop taking it for a while i REALLY notice a difference. I take a lot of supplements and quite frankly i get tired of taking them now and again so i like to take breaks. I have learned there are two things i cannot take breaks from and that is my supplements that affect my thyroid and adrenals. I constantly struggle with my adrenals and with issues from my thyroid in particular like energy. I take two caps and preferably in the morning as i get such a natural, consistent flow of energy throughout the day that if i take these too late in the afternoon i cannot sleep at night because my body just isn't ready for bed (and i'm talking about still not tired at 11:00pm). So for me it allows me to be my normal energetic self throughout the entire day, right into the evening. It helps with my mood as well, makes me feel like i want to tackle my day, it's like you get your drive for life back. Does it help my hair, i have never been able to tell a big enough difference to comment on. The other major thing it helps with is my cravings for carbs and my appetite, i'm not sure why it does that (have to do some research) but i generally do not eat sugar or carbs of any kind. When i don't take this i feel like i am 'hungry for something' and when i do take it that feeling totally goes away. Usually when i feel that hungry 'cannot get satisfied' feeling (which is different from a cannot get full feeling) i try to think back on which supplement i stopped taking for a while and sure enough, it's my thyroid supplement so then i immediately start back on it and am reminded of how i need to be consistent with taking this particular supplement because of the other benefit of energy. For my body, what is interesting to me is that i can also get those same cravings and lack of energy, when my adrenals are off balance, stressed, that's why i must address both my adrenals and thyroid at the same time because they can affect each other. That's why i feel this is a perfect accompaniment to what i do for my adrenals because i can have the very same symptoms that result from under functioning thyroid AND adrenals. I just turned 49, am peri-menopausal (grandmother) and try to stay ontop of issues like, hormone inbalance, energy, nourished adrenals & thyroid so they function well, manage stress, and tons of powerful antioxidants along with high doses of Vit C as well as female issues as i get 'younger' (laugh - at least that's my mindset anyways). I am not getting older i am getting better at taking care of myself as i turn another year, year after year! This product is a staple in my supplement arsenal and i will continue to buy it. I just bought my third bottle this week.

So this supplement actually makes me feel awesome. I've experienced increased energy and an easier time waking up in the morning while taking it. I've been taking it for several months off and on but mostly steadily. When I've gone off of it for a few days and then taken it again, I noticed an enhanced amount of alertness and energy. However, I have been steadily gaining weight over the past several months despite a better diet and increased workouts. The weight gain is especially in my stomach area which has become quite flabby with a layer of cellulite. This has gotten to a point of making me depressed about my body. I will mention that I have taken another supplement during this time which could also be to blame, namely DIM low dose at 50mg. The thing is, recently I decided to add another ashwaghanda supplement ksm-66 from walmart and take one of the zhou and one of the ksm-66. In the past couple days that I've done that, I've felt amazing as far as mood is concerned, but my belly has literally ballooned up! In a matter of days! So I'm thinking it's the ashwaghanda in this that is responsible for weight gain at least in part for me. I did notice that some others have mentioned weight gain on this supplement... so if you notice that as a side effect, its the ashwaghanda. I've decided to quit taking this and the other supplements for now to see if the flab goes away and will update this post with my progress.
