Affects of HGH ON THYROID

I would like to know if anyone who is on Armour for hypothyroid has taken Somatropin . I loved the results I was having on a transdermal HGH , however after a few days starts making my thyroid feel low . Wish I knew how to keep that from happening.

The BNF lists hypothyroidism under cautions.

The BNF listing for Somatropin is here:

bnf.nice.org.uk/drug/somatr...

But the poster later clarifies Somaderm which claims to be a homoeopathic product - more details in another response from me on this thread.

Thank you, however I don’t have access to that in the US

But you do have access to the FDA's Daily med site:

dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailym...

I was injecting HGH when I was on NDT. As far as I could tell, it was all benefit. I felt wonderful! It was when I had to stop the HGH that things went pear-shaped.

I've never tried transdermal HGH. Do you have to get that prescribed?

No, it’s called Somaderm. It’s NewuLife. I liked it so much I became a distributor, it’s 5 days on two off. It as the 2 days off that I would feel so bad. It’s FDA REGISISTERED.

Would you think that the soy-derived tocopherols would impact the thyroid at all? I know that those with actual soy allergies are definitely affected by them, but don't know what, if any, the effect would be on thyroid function.

No idea. In among the 20+ other ingredients, it might be very difficult to tell.

OK, so it's not at all the same as injecting HGH.

That, of course, doesn't mean it can't be doing you any good. But you can't compare it.

I would think, personally, that the days you didn't use it, the reason you felt worse was because you weren't using it, not because it affected your thyroid in anyway.

Why did you stop it if you don’t mind me asking?

I couldn't afford it anymore. It's very expensive!

I’ve heard it was. This is much more affordable. As a distributor can purchase it for $140.00 for a months supply. As a customer it’s 165.00.

Yes, but it's not the same thing, is it. It wouldn't have the same effect as a shot of pure HGH. Used to cost me about €450 for three months, but every three months, I had to make a long journey to collect it because it has to be refrigerated at all times. And that was a day's trip. So, that made it more expensive.
