Over the counter thyroid booster ?

ladislav_1969 Posts: 7 Joined: 2003/06/10	2003/06/10, 06:37 PM Can anyone recommend one thyroid booster that can be bought over the counter? Based on personal experience would be great, but I would take a link to an article.

Soy protein has shown benifits of reducing thyroid conversion that hinders fat loss & also cycling calories a couple of days a week works rather well. I know some people that took synthetic thyroid in hopes of increasing fat loss & ended up with some pretty serious medical problems, so above all else, be careful!! -------------- \\"Knowledge & persistence is all one needs to succeed\"\ ---Patrick L.

And I was taking them under a 'diet' Dr's supervision. So ladislav, steer clear of them. Have you been diagnosed with a thyroid problem? There are 2 websites with good info. They are thyroid-info.com and thyroid.about.com Good luck. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!
