I began taking something called Protandim in April last year. This stopped my Thyroid issues completely and I have been in normal range with bloods now for over a year. Hair growth is back up to above mormal with around an inch of growth per month too.

Happy to share info as this has been incredible for me as they wanted to take my Thyroid out, I refused and asked ot be given 3 months to wort this out (I was allergic to the meds). The rest shall we say is history.
