"Started on Levo/Synthroid after surgery a year ago. Had lots of leg pains and just didn't feel good. Then tried Armour - better but still didn't feel right and still had leg pains. Now I am on Nature's Thyroid - feel much better and no leg pains. I have increased to 2 grains, started at 1 and 1/4. Feel more like my old self. I was starting to get really depressed thinking this was my life now, always feeling subpar. I even regretted surgery and remnant ablation. I hope this continues, but for anyone who has absolutely no thyroid, I recommend you take something that more mirrors your body's natural thyroid. Your thyroid does so much more for your body than you realize. A synthetic T4-only product is not going to cut it in the long run for us."

"I have Hashimoto's and thyroid cancer. I've been doing well on it for many years until my refill in November 2017. I started my new bottle one morning, and somewhat immediately, I started having weird chest pains and felt sick. I then checked the pills, and they were noticeably different in color and taste the next day. From that day and for the next 6 weeks, I went completely downhill. Baker's cyst at 4 weeks and an autoimmune crash at 6 weeks. I have not been the same since. Can't drive, using a walker (I'm 44), and had not had balance problems until this med switch. After being checked for everything, I was diagnosed with ataxia, which is caused by hypothyroidism. My levels were fine the entire time until one batch made me hypothyroid. I finally switched to WP thyroid on the same mg's, and I'm now bordering hyperthyroid. RLC Labs swears that they did not change the formula, and if that is true, then 100% the raw material is not the same and is not good at all."

"I was on synthetic thyroid meds for over 10 years after thyroid cancer. My levels looked fine, said the doctor, but I clearly wasn’t. You’re depressed, said the other doctor. Having had thyroid and then immediately breast cancer, well yes, I guess I am depressed! Loaded me up on antidepressants. I guess I feel better? I know I’m supposed to, but I wasn’t living, I was surviving, and that was a chore! Finally threw myself at the doctor’s feet bawling and said PLEASE treat ME, NOT the lab work!!! Wow, here comes Nature-Throid. My life began again after 10+ years!! Yippee! After a year of finally feeling like myself again, it was recalled. Right back to feeling like I just can’t drag myself out of bed, and that is NOT me!! WHAT is everyone else doing without our wonder drug? The pharmacist told me last week he’s pretty sure it isn’t coming back!! I can’t imagine the rest of my life feeling like this!!!"

"Take 4.5 grains a day. So much better than levothyroxine."

"Nature-Throid seriously changed my life! I did so terrible on Synthroid; I was gaining weight despite the fact that I was working out and eating well, losing my hair, major brain fog, headaches with aura, and joint pain. I feel awesome on Nature-Throid and am losing weight even."
