Does anyone have any experience with the natural herbal thyrogard, specifically with Hashimotos?

I know we cannot recommend anyone product. What I am looking for is thoughts on the natural iodine (kelp and bladderwrack) contained in this product.

Levo and T3 has ceased to work for me.

I have looked to my friends here at Health unlocked for a long time and here I am casting about again.

thank you for your thoughts, and suggestions.

If this question is out of line with the rules and administrators please message me privately.

We hypos should avoid iodine/kelp supplements, especially if Hashi's is present. Iodine solution used to be used to treat hypERthyroidism before the current radioactive iodine treatment, so it could very well make your hypothyroidism worse.

You could always test to see if you are iodine deficient, if you wish to then do a non-loading urine iodine test from Genova Diagnostics.

Iodine is easily available from the UK diet - milk, yogurt, white fish, scampi, etc. It's unusual to be iodine deficient in the UK.

Not what you're looking for?
