Use of Natural Thyroid Boosters

I am interested (but have never heard of) these thyroid boosters. I am currently on Armour Thyroid at 60/30 daily.

Can you give me more info on what I would need to do if I took this?

Would it replace my current medication?

Should I contact my doctor to be monitored as if I was on medication? How are these products supposed to be used?

Sincerely,

Dinah

If you have already been prescribed thyroid medication by a doctor, do not take these boosters or stop using your current prescription without medical advice.

On the main page of the Armour Thyroid website, you will find the following disclaimer:

“The thyroid is a complicated and vital part of your body and each individual’s thyroid may act somewhat differently. For this reason, any decisions regarding the use of a thyroid treatment should be made after a consultation between you and your health care professional. If you think you may be suffering from a thyroid disease and have not seen a doctor or other qualified health care professional, you should get a professional evaluation as soon as possible.

While we make every effort to provide accurate, up-to-date, and useful information on ArmourThyroid.com, this site is not intended as a substitute for a clinical evaluation or the advice of a qualified doctor or other health care professional.”

I am not really an expert on these medications. There is an article on Ageless Beauty about thyroid boosters written by Darlene Manchester, a health and nutrition counselor specializing in the study of metabolic function and alternative medicine. If you haven’t read the article, visit Natural Thyroid Boosters to do so.

While over-the-counter thyroid boosters seem safe enough, I am not a physician and I can’t recommend that you take them without medical consultation. So I am in complete agreement with the disclaimer published on the site.
