Thyreogen - short chain peptide

[gabby57]

Has anyone either tried these or know anything about them? From googling, all I can see is they're not cheap & are of Russian origin. My local health food shop is promoting them but I'm v-e-r-y dubious.

Extremely dubious.

Amazon in Germany have this information visible:

200 mg peptidreiches Schilddrüsenextrakt von Schweinen und Kälbern, die jünger sind als 10 Monate †, mikrokristalline Zellulose (E 460), Rübenzucker, Milchzucker, Stärke-, Twin-80.

Which google translates as:

200 mg of peptide-rich thyroid extract of pigs and calves younger than 10 months †, microcrystalline cellulose (E 460), beet sugar, lactose, starch, twin-80.

So just sounds like a typical "dietary" thyroid supplement with uncertain thyroid hormone content.

Best left well alone then, thanks helvella .
