Westhroid for Underactive Thyroid Reviews
"I've suffered for many years with low thyroid and had my med/dosage changed many times but still felt no better. About 7 weeks ago I began taking Westhroid Pure. Within the first week, I noticed a difference! Now when I wash my hair, about half the amount of hair falls out, and it seems like some new hair is beginning to grow! I also have more energy and a better mood. I also started on pregnenolone during this time, so know that must also be part of the mood change. I'm very glad to be off the synthetic medications."
"I have never had a thyroid. After trying several different medicines such as Armour & Synthroid, I was happy to get Westhroid. However, at week 4, my hair is still rough, including my facial hair (I am female, 55), energy level is low, and lots of joint/muscle pain still! The adjustment phase takes SO MUCH TIME & patience, but I am hopeful. Anyone without a thyroid needs all 4 thyroid hormones; T1-T4 calcitonin. Synthetics only have T4, period. I will come back in 2 weeks with an update."
