Going back to the known.. Thyroid-S (batch 23T01004 )

[SophiaR]

Hi All,

I am considering going back to Thyroid S. I am not doing so well on Levothyroxine. I am tired all the time, weight gain, fatigue and the thought of exercise sends me into a mild panic because of I how I feel afterwards . My blood work is in range.

I wanted to ask whether anyone has order Thyroid S recently with batch number 23T01004 and if so how do they feel and what is the efficacy of this batch? This was the main reason I went on Levothyroxine as Thyroid A stopped working for me due to efficacy issues.

I would welcome any comments

If anyone tells me about it, I'll add it in.

I am totally dependent on those who take it letting me know.

In fact, I have added it but with a blank - as I know nothing.

Thank you

There is someone on the site using this batch but I cannot name her on here without her permission, however, this lady is doing well on it and has been using Thyroid s for years.

I have just received the same batch but only started it today. To early to tell.

Wait and see if she reply's I hope so.

[SophiaR in reply to Brightness14]

thank you so much and please keep me updated as to how you get along and I hope the lady who has been using this batch sees this post and responds also!!!!

Might be a good idea to edit your post title to include the name and batch you are asking about. That way, anyone interested is more likely to notice it.

[SophiaR in reply to RedApple]

That might be good idea…

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to SophiaR]

I think it starts "23"not "13"!

Ok

[Brightness14]

I will let you know, usually it only takes a very short time to feel well again, I'll PM you.

[Paquita in reply to Brightness14]

How are you getting on? I may need to buy this batch too, since TA22054 is not working too well.

Hi, I have just bought this batch but won't be starting it for a while. Someone else here, who normally took ERFA, bought it as a back-up. She tried it and thought it weak so she returned to ERFA which she was getting on prescription. She said that if she tried it again she'd add in an extra quarter or half a grain. I keep checking several other groups and haven't seen any mention of it anywhere else, so Brightness14 is our tester!

[SophiaR in reply to Framboise]

She certainly is!!!! I’m going to order.. don’t have much choice …

[SophiaR]

Thanks for this. I was informed that ‘Our current batch is 23T01004. MFG date : 08.06.2023. EXP date : 08.06.2026.’

I hope this clarifies ?

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu... Someone talks about 23T01004 here.

[SophiaR in reply to Paquita]

Thank you…i will have a read but have actually ordered no. . I will update on here how I get in when I start…

[Brightness14]

I have just started this batch but it's too early to tell yet. You may have answers from others though. It does appear to be working but after just a few days who knows, sorry. The other batch from 22 was the same as mine and never worked.

[Paquita in reply to Brightness14]

Thank you and I hope you are still doing well. What do you mean with "the other batch was tbe same as mine"? This 22054 batch does work enough to soldier on until I can decide to buy something else. The last batch of Tru I used was completely ineffective, which I noticed definitively on day 10.

Does anyone know how often they issue new batches? Framboise perhaps.

[Framboise in reply to Paquita]

So sorry Paquita, I didn't see your question until now. I think it varies each year, but I know they make two batches in a run. It seems that in 2022 there were about 60 batches looking at the batch numbers people have mentioned, so probably every 2 weeks or slightly more frequently. But there were more in 2021, and looking at the batches for sale at the moment, the fourth batch was manufactured in June 2023, so that means every six months. I usually ask before I buy what they are selling at the moment and then check to see if anyone has commented on it. I buy a year in advance though so can usually afford to wait!

[Paquita in reply to Framboise]

Thanks. So about 60 batches, but the 4th batch only manufactured in June of that year? If it's every two weeks and 2 batches in a run, the 4th batch would have to be from January or February?

I'm in doubt about ordering a new batch. If I buy just the one bottle and after a couple of weeks I know it works, chances are that batch has already sold out. If I buy for 2 years, like I did last time, I may end up with yet another huge failed purchase.

Not that I have much choice.

[Framboise in reply to Paquita]

Yes it's odd, lots of manufacturing runs a couple of years ago, but not so many now. I always ask before buying what they are selling and what the percentages are, then I check everywhere I can to see if anyone has already commented on them. I'm hoping the four jars I just bought will be ok because they're too expensive to throw away. If there was definite consistency then it would be better to order one jar at a time. Some sellers have stock before or after others, so another idea is to buy from the one with the newest batch then, if it's ok, to buy more of the same batch from another seller who gets it in later. It just too complicated though!

[Paquita in reply to Framboise]

I also hope the manufacturer listens to us and goes back to the old formula.
