LES Labs Thyroid Support Supplement for Women & Men, 60 Capsules

I originally tried this supplement to see if I could improve energy and to not feel so sluggish. I think one other reviewer described it best as "walking through mud". I am not a fan of needles, don't want to be on any more prescribed medications that I have to, and didn't feel bad enough that I needed a thyroid test, so I wanted to see that if I have some deficiencies in thyroid performance, then perhaps a supplement would work. I have been taking this supplement for almost two months. I have noticed changes in how I feel. I feel more energetic, I'm sleeping better, my mood has improved, my weight has stabilized, and my muscles feel more responsive. I did have a minor drop in results when I was on an antibiotic, so if you are taking this and have to go on an antibiotic, you might think that the supplements isn't working. You also won't feel results immediately, so please be patient and keep taking them. After the antibiotic regiment, which happened about the second week I was taking the supplement, it took another week or so afterwards to balance out. I do say definitely within the first month you should notice differences. However, I will note that if you are expecting a drastic change, this isn't the item for you. I don't think that was its intended use anyways. Also, like many people have already stated, if you take this on an empty stomach, chances are within a few minutes you will feel nauseous. Eat something, like a meal, then take the supplement. Overall, a decent product, especially if you want to try something simple before just concluding you must have a thyroid issue, going to the doctor, and being prescribed medication. Combined with some lifestyle changes too (I do suffer from acid reflux as well so I'm trying out a wedge pillow), I feel awake, alert, and ready to take on the day.

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.

My TSH values are low but still 'normal' and the myriad of symptoms I report to the doctor are apparently not serious enough to warrant more in-depth exams. I stopped taking synthroid (25mcg) because the symptoms improved for the first half year but then returned, then i stopped taking it, felt even worse so restarted and the same happened again (this was done under doctors orders). Since my symptoms are many but not extreme I thought of trying a more natural approach to healing them rather than keep increasing synthroid, which I believe is of limited efficacy since its chemical structure is so different from our natural hormone that i doubt our body can recognize it for what it is trying to replace. I have taken LES Labs Thyroid health for exactly 3 weeks. It is too early to fully assess its efficacy but for the past 2 weeks I noticed: - it is easier to focus (I play lumosity and have noticed i can concentrate on games that previously I would stop paying attention to half way through) - i feel less sluggish in the mornings - breast pain has reduced - more regular digestive system without taking any other aids (i used to take a daily cup of "Get Clean" - from the Republic of Tea - to keep me on track) - more restful sleep - no weight change but less puffiness/water retention 5 MONTH UPDATE - all positive changes listed above have continued, the sluggishness which bothered me the most is certainly gone way. - skin condition has improved - weight gained stopped, that is not to say this supplement made me lose weight, just that the slow but steady weight gain seems to have stopped and certainly the bloated feeling too - will continue to take it 2YR UPDATE - at one point stopped taking it for about 2 months - fatigue and irregular bowel movements returned - after that tried a different brand for 2 months - didn't feel great taking it - returned to this brand - afternoon fatigue still under control and bowel movements regularized again. Those are my two main issues, so will continue taking this. Must take it after a good meal or i can feel quite nauseous

I found this product on the internet. Many times, I go straight to Amazon to see if I the product is there, then proceed to reading product reviews. After reading all of the great reviews, I decided to purchase. One review stated that they saw results after the 2nd day. I admit, I was skeptical. I exercise daily, eat a healthy diet, drink lots of water , I am not over weight. However, I had many of the same symptoms, hoarseness , tightness in my throat, night sweats, fatigue etc.I have asked my physician to run thyroid panels ,on more than one occasion. My results were "a normal high" whatever that means. Regardless, I wasn't looking forward to taking any rx for hypo , due to all of the side affects, and back and forth until the right dosage is achieved. I also have botox injections for migraines and one side affect of botox is hoarseness - so I just contributed that to the botox. I couldn't explain away the other symptoms - So, i ordered this product. By the 2nd day, the tightness in my throat was better, my energy level was up, hoarseness was also better. Now, day 3, tightness is completely gone, no hoarseness , haven't experienced any night sweats and my energy level is where it used to be! ONE WORD OF CAUTION - I wasn't sure if i should take on an empty stomach, or take after a meal, so I tried both. On an empty stomach, about 10 minutes after taking it , I felt nauseous. Immediately , at a couple of pretzels and the nausea passed after about 5 minutes. Next day, I ate a slice of toast, and then took it, same thing, a wave of nausea, but it passed in less than 5 minutes. I'm going to wait a bit longer after eating , before taking, to see if that makes a difference. Whatever the case, 5 minutes of nausea beats what I've been dealing with for more than a year! I am so thankful for all of the purchaser reviews, i wouldn't have purchased if not for reading such positive reviews. I would highly recommend this product and will continue taking it.

I admit, I am skeptical of reviews I sometimes see on sites but I am a believer in this product. Having been diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 5 years ago and the symptoms I had leading up to finally seeking a doctor's assistance. I once heard hypothyroidism best described as feeling like "you were continually walking through mud". Accurate. Even with medication (150 mcg) I still have little energy, foggy brain is the worst, easy weight gain (5 pounds in a week), hair loss, dry skin, sensitivity to extreme temperatures. The classical hypothroidiac even with full medication. I read the reviews of this produce and was hopeful. I figured it was at least worth the money to try it. Anything would be worth trying at this point. Simply said, I love it. I am 3 weeks in and I can tell a definite difference! More energy! I can actually perform a task for an ongoing period of time without resting. I feel like I am getting my brain back! Seriously started feeling like I was losing my mind at the things I would forget. I feel like I am returning to normal again. Now it it can help with hair loss, MIRACLE!!

I have tried a LOT of thyroid supplements. I got so sick of buying 10 different products to try to help my hypothyroidism, and was disappointed with other "all in one" thyroid supplements I had tried in the past. (For example, I tried the NOW brand thyroid supplement because it was cheaper, but it did nothing for me, and smelled disgusting.) I LOVE this stuff! I just finished my first bottle and have lost 7 lbs in just 2 months! I have been on Armour thyroid for about 3 years now, and had already lost most of the weight I had gained, but still had this pesky extra 10 lbs I could not lose. I started out weighing between 135-138 lbs. I started taking this supplement but changed nothing else (I still ate the same and exercised as I always have)...I now weigh 128 lbs and people are actually commenting that I have lost weight. My face looks thinner because I believe it has helped me lose the water weight that thyroid patients tend to carry around. I love that I can take just one capsule a day of this product, instead of the handfull of individual supplements I had been taking. I almost did not buy this product at first because I felt the price of $35 was a bit high. But, I decided to try it because I figured it was actually saving me money in the long run because it was going to take the place of the iodine, zinc, L-tyrosine, and other supplements that I was already buying separately. I do still take additional vitamin D with it, and still take a bio-available B-complex (but debate if I can discontinue that since this does contain B-12 as methylcolobamin)...if I can discontinue my additional B vitamin then that will save me even more money each month. I guess I need to investigate that further. I am impressed to see this supplement contains the proper type of B-12 since most thyroid patients do have the MTHFR gene mutation. So, in closing, I will say again how wonderful I feel this supplement is. I have lost weight and feel more energetic.

Update: August 2022 I had my labs drawn again and my TSH continues to climb, and I continue to gain weight and inflammation with this supplement. I feel sluggish and cranky and constipated. I also suspect that this supplement is contributing to binge eating for me. I had the urges under control for a long time, but they have flared up while taking this supplement. Beware that this formula maybe be dangerous for individuals recovery from eating disorders. I will permanently discontinued this supplement because three months was long enough to feel like crap on it. Hopefully, my symptoms are reversible. Update: June 2022 I have continued to try this supplement without much impact on my symptoms. In fact, I have gained weight, I feel even more tired, and I am now regularly constipated. This week, I had my labs drawn after taking this supplement for several weeks and I am more hypothyroid than ever. Guess this supplement does not work for me. May 2022 I have only used this product for two weeks, so I am still deciding on whether or not I like this supplement, and/or if I would recommend it to others because it usually takes a few months to feel the full effect. However, so far, I have noticed that I can't seem to adjust to the side effects. It makes me drowsy, dizzy, nauseated, gassy, bloated, and gives me headaches.

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.
