Hi there Beegood123

I have used Uni-Pharma T3 for some years. A couple of years ago I reduced the amount of T3 I took from 25 mcg to 12.5 mcg ( titrating gradually). Subsequently, I lost 30lb. It is now almost impossible to obtain without being price gouged/scammed. It definitely made a huge difference to my well-being. I also take 2.5 grains of Thyroid-S, which I have shared with another thyroidie I may choose to increase as my T3 stash runs out. I rather hope that I run out, before my stash is completely depleted. Unfortunately, my supply of Thyroid-S is also looking a bit dodgy, as the original manufacturer appears to have been bought out by an American-sounding group. With the exception of a few medics in America ( Antonio Bianco being one - read his book, Rethinking Hypothyroidism ) there seems to be a cohort who are determined to proscribe everything excepting synthroid/levo. The self-serving barstewards.

There is a post on triyotex here healthunlocked.com/thyroidu.... Doesn't look good. Find 'related posts' on any post - if you search Triyotex see what comes up.

This may be disheartening but do pay attention to this post: healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Finally, you need vitamins and minerals to be at optimum (not 'normal') levels to ensure that whatever you're taking, it's being properly absorbed.

Thank you, need to find a reliable supplier, lost my computer a few months ago and the website to the tiromel I use to buy was lost.

So I tried this compounded pharmacy from Costa Rica, I live in US but spend long periods in Costa Rica.

This capsules are not working for me and the have a huge amount of fillers.

[helvella Administrator in reply to Beegood123]

It really does help to put your country into your profile.

Many possible suppliers have limitations on the countries they will supply - and the US might have restrictions on countries from which you can import!

All thyroid hormone products contain only something like one-thousandth the total weight as the active ingredient. They are all close to pure excipient.

[Beegood123 in reply to helvella]

I just did.

That is true, is just the capsules are big for holding so little in them and I had to take 7 a day.

I feel Tiromel might work better for me.

It might be more accurate on the dosage and definitely is a smaller size pill.

[helvella Administrator in reply to Beegood123]

Open the capsules and stir into some water?

[Beegood123 in reply to helvella]

But I am still drinking all that powder

😟

smells like talc

[helvella Administrator in reply to Beegood123]

But not the capsule material and not difficult to swallow.

[Beegood123 in reply to helvella]

True that!

[Elsabounre in reply to Beegood123]

There is talc in Euthyroid and probably other levo tablets ..I could not understand why they would add that..neither did my Endo when I asked..also other fillers...we would prefer no fillers and even smaller purer pills.

[helvella Administrator in reply to Elsabounre]

Impossible to have pure pills.

Can you imagine splitting a tablet into about a thousand fragments?

A typical thyroid hormone tablet contains, maybe, 100 micrograms of active ingredient. That is, one tenth of a milligram.

A typical 100 microgram tablet might weigh 100 milligrams. That is, it is around one thousand times the weight of the active ingredient.

Also, it might not be a good idea for all the hormone to enter our stomachs concentrated in one tiny spot.

No UK thyroid hormone tablet declares talc as an excipient.

[Elsabounre in reply to helvella]

What are the fillers in thyroid medication?In addition to levothyroxine, they contain a variety of excipients (inert ingredients) such as wheat starch (gluten), lactose, sugars, dyes and talc. These can sometimes cause irritation or make it harder for your body to absorb your thyroid medicine.

[helvella Administrator in reply to Elsabounre]

No UK thyroid hormone medicines contain wheat starch, dyes (with one possible exception - Sun/Ranbaxy which contains Indigo carmine (E132) but is not available), or talc!

The only sugars are lactose and, currently sucrose. Mannitol is arguable because it is classed as a sugar alcohol.

There are full ingredients listed in my UK thyroid hormones document.

Yes - some excipients are problematical for some people. For the UK, I think we could very much do with one which has no maize starch or other maize-derived ingredients.

But no-one ever comes up with a list of excipients that could viably be used - and they and many others would be happy with.

[tattybogle in reply to Elsabounre]

none of the levothyroxine tablets we have in the UK contain gluten elsabourne ... , (i don't think any dyes are used in UK levo either, but not 100% certain )

[Beegood123 in reply to Elsabounre]

Right?

[flora64 in reply to Beegood123]

I am completely sure that compounded T3 from Costa Rica doesn't work. I went there 15 years ago for a stem cell transplant, It costed me almost $50 000 and it turned out to be a hoax. Clinic was closed a year after but they relocated to Panama for a while until, as I found out later, Russian mafia to whom its owner (male nurse from US) was owing money closed it down.

[Beegood123 in reply to flora64]

Yeah am afraid is not what I need.

That is why am going back to Tiromel or other reliable T3 .

I do have Tiromel for a couple of months.

I used to get Uni Pharma T3 from Crete. So easy €2.50 per pack but the Xretans have cottonedvon and can only get 1 emergency pack per pharmacy which means trailing round for a day. So am on Armour here in UK now. But if I'd been a bit smarter I should have found an endocrinologist in Chania and got a prescription. Then I would have been able to get T3 easily. In Greece T3 is routinely supplied with T4. None of the nonsense we go through here to get a med we need and can't do without. It's disgraceful
