After a variety of self-experiments using levo, metavive II and adrenavive, I've now concluded that the one thing that seems to help is adrenavive, but I can only use it in 1/4 doses twice a day at the moment. I've recently (2 weeks) stopped 50mcg levo and this may have some impact on my tolerance, I don't know and time will tell, but I'd like to know what's in it and why it seems to help more than anything else. I've read before on here that the hormone content is unknown but if anyone has any idea, I'd be really grateful. If this is sensitive information, please feel free to pm me. Thank you.

Adrenavive is an adrenal glandular, depending on which version of Adrenavive (ie l, ll or lll) it will be the whole gland or the cortex only.
It's not a thyroid glandular, just adrenal gland from cows so will contain just adrenal hormones.
If you want to know more go to their website and click on the appropriate product:
Jamima Adrenavive has no thyroid hormone content. As the name suggests it is Adrenal in nature. Adrenavive is freeze dried animal adrenal glands.Have you tested your cortisol levels? I would be careful supplementing with adrenals if you didn't know your cortisol was low.
It is common to feel really great when you stop levo. We don't know why but folks on here, including me, report that it is so.
When I all but stopped levo I felt great for 3 months...till the lack of hormones really became apparent. Please take care and monitor closely how you are feeling.
Thank you lalatoot - this is a copy of my last cortisol results, albeit 2 years ago, yes, they were low. I have another regenerus test to complete but finding a day when I don't have coffee is difficult just now, hopefully next week. healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
