So Far, So Good with Thyroid Edge
I have hypothyroidism. I used to take Synthroid, but I stopped due to the hair loss it was causing. I've been reluctant to go on any other drugs, as it seems that there isn't anything that's not going to cause some kind of side effect. Lately the effects of being hypo have been at the worst I've had them - weight gain, sluggishness, brain fog, etc. So, I once again (for like the umpteenth time) went on a seach for some kind of holistic help - mind you, I'm not expecting holistic to have the same exact medicinal effects for the thyroid as actual medication but at the same time, the chances of going bald are pretty much slim to none! So, after reading reviews I decided to give this product a shot. I received it on Jan 2nd and took my first dose (1/4 teaspoon) upon receipt - it was about mid-morning. Immediate Rush! Like 5 energy drinks. That rush faded but the energy did not, I really got a lot accomplished that day! I only took one more dose that first day, around mid-afternoon. I don't sleep well to begin with and was afraid it would keep me up if I took a dose late in the day. Day 2 was not as successful as Day 1, but I think was just kind of tired anyway (being that I never really get a good nights sleep). That was disappointing but on Day 3 - like Day 1 but without the extreme rush, just an energy boost. And it's been that way since up to today, Day 4. I'm now taking 3 doses per day, spread out. So far, so good and at this time, I'm happy with the product and hopefully it will continue to work. A side benefit - I just restarted a LCHF diet and this product, because I think it's keeping me energetic and focused, has helped me stick to it better than I normally would in the beginning so I've lost 4 lbs in 4 days . Oh, the taste is absolutely atrocious but for the benefits I'm getting, it's worth every bit of yuckiness. (you do get used to the tast, hold under the tongue for a few seconds, swallow and chase with water). I never ever write really long reviews like this but I know there are so many women suffering with hypothyroidism I'm hoping review can help someone. I realize that it's only been a few days, but honestly I feel really good and right now this product is a keeper for me.
