Milk Thistle for reducing reverse T3

Hi,

I wish to try milk thistle supplements to lower my RT3.

I read that I need to ensure I use seeds only (to avoid a possible negative estrogen effect) when I am looking for a product that is in high dose and is seeds, could anybody please recommend one?

Thank you kindly

Hi seasidesusie

There's this one , and I saw it cropping up elsewhere. Also on STTTM it said doses circa 200mg twice a day , but that it needs to be seeds not fruit extract. Apparently the detoxification of the liver helps reduce RT3. Just trying now to find the right product !

Thanks, I have that article bookmarked, never noticed about the milk thistle before!

From the UK - not recommendations as I've not tried them, but brands I have heard of and would trust

Let !e know how you get on.

I've added T3 to a reduced amount of Levo, waiting for results of latest test to see how it's going.

rodrob,

I have this one at home by Swanson but I've not tried it yet.

Under additional information it states seeds.
