[Fiaxseed]

Hello everyone. I want to let you know that we have recently been given a safety alert regarding 'pure bio thyroid -B no. 1 tablets in Australia because they have been found to pose a serious health risk. For more info tga.gov.au/alert/pure-bioth...

Sorry, link doesn't work. And googling pure bio thyroid -B no. 1 got me nowhere. But, it sounds like some sort of 'thyroid support' multi, which doubtless contains iodine, so that would be bad for your health, yes. Multis and iodine are always a bad idea.

Didn't work for me either. Got onto Australian foundation Ltd and shared their post on Facebook. Thanx to helvella for the edit. Keep up the good work. Regads everyone.
