Message Subject My Weight Loss Secret - TRH/T3/T4 Hormonal Tweaking
Poster Handle MercyMe
Post Content
Hi Op! I went to the health food store and bought a supplement called "Terry Naturally Thyroid care." The clerk talked me into buying it. She personally takes it and she said she's lost alot of weight and also has more energy. It says its 30 mg Iodine. It consists of 15 mg of potassium iodide, 7.5 of sodium iodide, and 7.5 mg of molecular iodine. It also has L-Tyrosine 400 mg. It claims on the bottle that L-Tyrosine is needed by the body to produce thyroid hormones.

I was wondering if you thought this sounded like it might work ok. It claims its 20,000 DV. Right now I'm also taking a low dosage of Levothyroid. My goal is to lose 20 lbs and then I'll be in a healthy weight range. Right now, even when I'm really strick on my diet, I still can only lose about 2 pounds a month. I hope this will raise my metabolism so that I can lose about 6 pounds a month. In the past I've always averaged 6 pounds a month with diet and excercise.

Thanks OP! I know I'm a little late to posting this. I hope you're still keeping track of this thread! I appreciate your posting this info!

Sure - sounds good (but some questions about it..) they covered both the Iodine, and the L-Tyrosine, the feedstocks for the T3/T4. I would simply add lots of Carrots for its Vitamin A, and of course the Vitamin C. The Vitamin A is going to help your Thyroid absorb the Iodine, the Vitamin C is going to increase TRH which is going to call the thyroid to make more (like turning up the thermostat basically of your body). 30mg of Iodine those is a large quantity - like wow! Thats 30,000 mcg, or ug of Iodine. I'm surprised their having people taking it at that levels, and when I have gone above 15,000 in the past (3 drops of lugols at 6,000 ug / drop) I started actually getting less energy, and needing to rest. Do you notice if your experiecing that?

At 30,000 you might even experience discomfort or swelling around your thyroid gland. It literally wraps around your lower neck and if it feels sore or swollen then listen to your body, and try reducing that dosage. Again that is what I would do for myself, as I cannot by law give or treat or recommend personal health advice to any individual.

I stick with a more modest 5-10x the RDA at about 1,500 to 3000 ug, or mcg, but if it works for you and your body is happy kudos! 1,500 to 3,000 is what works for me the best and I have stuck with it for a very long time.

Hi OP! Today is the first day of taking these pills. I did notice a feeling of nervousness and fast heartbeat come over me for awhile. I think I'll back off that dosage quite a bit because now that you've pointed it out, it does seem a little extreme. No wonder the sales lady was losing alot of weight! I think I'll go ahead and order the trophic instead, it might be safer. One thing that is really strange is it said you could safely up the amount to twice that but to build up to it. That would be 60 mg of Iodine a day. I wonder if it becomes toxic at that amount? I'm surprised they are allowed to sell it!

Thanks for warning me about the dosage! hf
