Used only once, but I feel better than I have for a yearI have been on synthetic thyroid replacement for 22 years and this pill was an experiment after having read the literature on natural glandular supplementation versus synthetic T4 replacement alone. I've been feeling tired and run down this past year to the point of sitting and doing nothing, but hey I'm a post-menopausal older gal so there are lots of possibilities of why I felt tired. I took this pill with meal yesterday morning. I had had my usual dose of thyroid medication earlier that a.m.To my great and happy surprise within an hour I began to feel "normal." Normal is something that I term feeling alert and ready to do stuff. In fact, I found myself doing stuff spontaneously without thought -- usually I think about doing things and then do nothing. Sometime later in the day I began to feel jittery so I was thinking that I had overdone the combination of the pill with my usual thyroid medication, but hey, this is wonderful news.Today is the second day...
Finally!
Finally! After 10 years of exhaustion, aches and pains, weight gain, dry skin and hair loss, I started taking raw thyroid (after a lot of research). It works very well, although I am taking 2 capsules per day, instead of 1. I sleep better and longer, awake feeling rested for a change. My hair has stopped falling out. My skin - it is much more smooth and less wrinkled. My hands used to look like I was 100 yrs old no matter how much lotion I used. Now they look very nice again, with only normal lotion use (my neck, too!). I don't feel like I need a nap during the day anymore. I feel less stiff in the morning and aches are much less noticable. I used to walk 1-2 hrs a day with little weight loss (I was watching my calories, too). Now, I am seeing a slow but steady weight loss, doing the same thing, but taking the thyroid. I am not a pill person, and I don't believe in miracle hype, but this has changed my life.I am also taking one vitamin D, one adult vitamin, and one B-complex...
But iron stores can be hard to maintain because the typical iron absorption from eating a typical Western diet ranges from 10-35% while following a vegetarian diet has much less iron absorption, from 1-20%. Some foods are higher in iron but keep in mind the absorption rates are still low comparatively speaking. To add to this challenge, scientists have discovered something called ‘sports anaemia’ this is essentially where muscle fibres are damaged during intense exercise training and if there is inadequate protein intake then the body draws upon haemoglobins and red blood cells to repair the muscle. Plus there are iron inhibitors that can decrease iron absorption even more. These include calcium, zinc (although maybe not when consumed as food and not as a supplement), phytates and fiber found in whole grains and nuts, tannins found in coffee and tea, bran and soy
