LES Labs Thyroid Support – Metabolic Health, Thyroid Hormone Production, Energy & Focus – Iodine, L-Tyrosine, Ashwagandha, Selenium & Turmeric – Non-GMO Supplement – 60 Capsules

been taking this for 3 years,it has made a great difference in my health for the better

Just received it and I’m writing a review to receive a bonus bottle. The product arrived quickly and without incident. I am hopeful that it works for me and plan on updating this review as I get a better sense of its effect.Update 1 Month Later:I've had some ongoing issues with sleep (insomnia, waking mid-night, exhaustion yet unable to sleep), stubborn weight (despite healthy eating and exercise) and high-stress levels. I have started to notice more and more signs of a weakening thyroid and wanted to address that before it became a major problem. After doing some research I bought a few separate herbs for this issues (zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, and B12) but when I needed to reorder I found this mix that included those and then some and decided to try them as a combination rather than separate. I figured and it has proven to be a more cost-effective option.To be fair, I also ordered two other supplements from the same company (cortisol health and insulin health) and began taking them at the same time. I take the Cortisol health (along with extra iodine and probiotics) at night and the insulin and thyroid support in the morning (along with some extra Vit. D and magnesium.)Because I started several new products at one time I have a difficult time attributing anything miraculous to just one, however, after about a month of taking this I can say a few things:-After one night of adding the Cortisol health to my nightly routine, I had the best sleep I've gotten in years. Between the three mixes, I find that I sleep longer, deeper, wake more rested and feel more energy through the day.-Since adding the three LES Labs mixes (Cortisol, Insulin, and Thyroid) I lost 7 lbs, a triumph after 4 months of intentional healthy eating and exercise with no results.-One important note: this mix contains copper, which is essential to supplement when taking zinc as zinc can cause your body to dump copper. However, taking copper can be a little tricky. I always take this with either a big breakfast or lunch. Failing to take it with food can lead vomiting. On one occasion I took it too long before eating breakfast on a basically empty stomach and got sick for the first time in many years. My sister also experienced the same issue once when the only food she had eaten was a smoothie. Apparently, this is a very common side effect of copper and I'm glad I had read about it prior to this incident. As long as I take it with food I've had no other issues.In summary, I do highly recommend this supplement as a piece of the puzzle of health. Most people with thyroid problems also have issues elsewhere (cortisol and insulin resistance among others). It helps to understand how these issues are connected and address them as a whole. There is no magic pill and the best thing you can do for your body is eat healthily and exercise, this won't replace that. However, I did find that my body needed a little extra support and with that, the healthy lifestyle I was living worked a lot better. These aren't the types of issues that go away overnight or even with one bottle. It took years for my body to get off balance and I expect it will be a journey back to full health, but this product is part of that for me.

UPDATE #2: I did eventually lose 12 pounds while taking these and my labs have been great. I'm not too low or high on my thyroid levels. When I forgot to take these for a couple of weeks I noticed 3-4 pounds creep back on, but once I reinstituted the Thyroid support again the pounds fell back off and I'm slowly losing more weight every few weeks. Jeans and pants fit looser and my face has stayed leaner and more contoured.UPDATE#1: After one full month I have now noticed the roundness in my face is diminishing and my face is becoming more contoured like it used to look. Also my skin feels less dry and my T-zone on my face is once again oily like it used to always be. For the last many months my face had been pretty dry. I still have not lost weight. I have, in fact, gained 5 pounds, but I'm exercising more with an elliptical trainer so that might be attributed to muscle gain. Will update again after labs at first of May.03/16/17: I have only started taking these two weeks ago, and will not be getting any thyroid studies taken for at least another month, so I will come back and update this at that time. What I like about these is they do not cause me stomach upset (I am taking them on a full stomach just after dinner or at bedtime a couple of hours later) and there is no disgusting taste. I also like the fact that capsules are nonallergenic since I have multiple food sensitivities. My sister was taking another brand with similar ingredients but hers had kelp in them and since kelp is classified as a shellfish and I am allergic to certain types of shellfish I decided to look around for something without that ingredient and found these. I saw all the reviews about weight loss, better lab values, etc. so I am hoping for the same. So far at 2 weeks in I have not noticed a lot; however, my fatigue is pretty much gone, I am warm all the time now and no longer freezing, my fingernails are growing longer and stronger, I am not losing as much hair when I comb through it post showering, and an annoying itch on both my feet that has been plaguing me for months has suddenly gone away. I can only assume that these are doing some sort of magic with the thyroid considering hair, skin dryness and nail strength are all directly correlated to hypothyroid issues. Keeping my fingers crossed that with some time I will have even better gains.

Bottle came without the safety seal. Couldn’t return it or contract manufacturer.Update: opened the bottle to decide if I’d use it anyway, and everything’s stuck together.
