For Thyroid Cancer "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."

For Hashimoto's disease "I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in November. My peroxidase antibody was measured at 10 in a reference range of 1-59. I asked my doctor to put me on Nature-Throid after I could not take Synthroid. Synthroid makes my eye twitch constantly. I also went on an autoimmune paleo diet. I really liked the Nature-Throid at first. I lost weight and felt better. Then something started happening. My hips and shoulders got so stiff that I could barely move. They hurt so badly. I also noticed a vein on my forehead. I began to also get pinpoint headaches. It just kept getting worse. I went to my doctor, and he gave me prednisone shots in my right hip and shoulder. I asked him to switch me to WP Thyroid. I was allergic to a filler in the Nature-Throid."

For Underactive Thyroid "I’ve been on Nature-Throid for the last 3 years and never had any issues. When the recall recently happened, my doctor put me on Armour. Within 3-5 days, I started waking up with a headache that didn’t go away all day, unless I took something for it. I was nauseous and anxious that something was suddenly wrong. This happened like clockwork every morning. It was relentless. It took me about 10 days to realize it might be the new dose of Armour. I stopped taking it, and within 24 to 48 hours, the headaches and nausea were gone. I’m not sure if it was the inactive ingredients that I was reacting so badly to, but I can confidently say I had bad side effects on Armour and hope Nature-Throid becomes available soon. Wanted to share my experience in case anyone else is going through something similar."

For Underactive Thyroid "Was on Synthroid for a year and noticed zero improvement. Got off it for a few years then started again and developed angina-like chest pain out of nowhere when exercising. I felt tired and miserable as always. Begged my doc to Rx Nature-Throid. After being on it 3 months, I realized how much better I feel. No more waking up feeling like crap, no more muscle aches, no more fatigue. Headaches have improved drastically. More energy to work out. No puffy, creased eyes when I wake up in the morning. Appetite is good again and I can eat what I want while maintaining my weight just fine. I am 5'8" and 135 lbs and only exercise twice a week but am able to eat 2000 calories a day, sometimes more, and have gained no weight. Just like old times!"
