Has anyone tried Desiccated Thyroid Glandular Supplements from Nutri Meds in the USA?

I wanted to know as I'm not sure if they are the real thing or a similar supplement to the Nutri Advanced tabs I have. Also they offer bovine or porcine so which would be best. Any help gratefully received as always.

You mean the ones by Nutri-Meds (USA) as opposed to Nutri Ltd (UK)? I have, when Armour first became unavailable and there was a mad rush to get anything, I tried that. I wasn't impressed. It didn't do much for me. Although at least it didn't give me stomach ache like the Nutri Thyroid I bought from Nutri Ltd. I think the Nutri-Med ones contain hormone, although it doesn't say so on the label, otherwise they couldn't sell over-the-counter.

However, I very much liked Nutri-meds glandular adrenal. Last time I tried to buy it, they wouldn't let me buy it from the US, said I had to go through a British company, but when I checked them out, they have changed the formula for both Thyroid and Adrenal and have added vitamins and minerals - can't remember the details. Personally, I don't like that idea, so I didn't buy them, but maybe I'm just being difficult. It's just that I like to take control of my own suppliments and not have them foist upon me.

Hugs, Grey

Hi Grey, are these tablets like Armour or are they a poor mans version eg. do you actually take such a small dose its not worth the effort. I am on Levo and looking for a solution like we all are to feeling better and hoped they may help.

Many thanks

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but I took it as my main thyroid hormone replacement for a while. But, as I said, it didn't help much. No way of knowing how much of which hormones it contains, if any.

You used to be able to get it, but now they won't ship to the UK. Their UK suppliers now do a different version for the EU - which contains iodine and is basically not much good. And it was great!

Nutri thyroid is available in the UK, but I haven't tried it.

IHerb.com are now doing Nutri-meds some adrenal products (and they do Thyro-gold) so it might be worth asking them. And they ship to the UK.

The EU is a pain in the .****. Thanks for that, I will keep looking lol. I am trying Nutri Thyroid as the moment and not feeling any benefit. x
