Testing ...

[UKmale_hypo]

I m trying to help someone just about to start Levo as she has Central Hypothyroidism. She has used this product - hollandandbarrett.com/shop/... - and I am wondering if she needs to wait until it is out of her system before testing? I've heard that one must be off anything with Biotin in it, but just not sure about this.

Any advice very welcome - thanks.

Full ingredients

Acid (Citric Acid), Acidity Regulator (Sodium Carbonate), Taurine, Sweeteners (Sorbitol, Sucralose, Mannitol), Glucuronolactone, Anti Caking Agents (Tricalcium Phosphate, Silicon Dioxide), Inositol, Inulin, Caffeine, Natural Flavouring, Maltodextrin, Gingko Biloba Extract, Ginseng Root Extract, Guarana Extract, Red Beet Juice Powder, Niacin (as Nicotinamide), Pantothenic Acid (as d-Calcium Pantothenate), Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride), Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin).

I'm not reading biotin anywhere in the ingredients so she should be fine.

Had there been biotin in it 4-7 days stoppig the supplement would be plenty of time.

While I'm here though I would say that its a pretty cheap, low quality and quantity product and she will likely benefit as much from the caffeine in it as anything else.

A methyl/active B complex would be better and Holland & Barrett not the best place to buy good quality vitamins that might help.

This B complex has all the right vitamins at a not unreasonable cost for 90 days supply. amazon.co.uk/Liposomal-Soft...
