ZHOU Thyroid Support - Thyroid Supplement for Women & Men with Zinc, Iodine, & Selenium, Cellular Energy Thyroid Complex with Ashwagandha, Kelp - 60 Veggie Capsules (Pack of 1)

I have had celiac disease for a few years now and I always thought it was what was making me feel so sluggish all the time. For the last two years I felt like I was running on 50% energy, if that. I'm 25 years old, visit the gym daily, eat healthier than most, I juice fruits and veggies daily. I should have been in excellent health but still felt drained all the time. I was notorious for napping once, sometimes twice a day. A co-worker of mine suggested I look into thyroid problems, so I did some research, talked to my doctor and found that I am more susceptible to thyroid problems because of a lack of immune response caused by the celiac. Upon searching for thyroid vitamin supplements I found this product. It had excellent reviews and it wasn't too expensive. I figured I'd give it a shot, just to see if it made any difference. Used amazon prime and got it in two days. Took one capsule immediately. Having experience in the field of psychology I was very aware of the placebo effect so I remained skeptic of any immediate sensations. After a couple of hours there was no doubt that I was feeling exponentially better than I had. My body no longer hurt, the sluggishness was gone, I didn't feel weak anymore. I doubled my work out time and still didn't feel exhausted afterwords. It was a night and day difference. I've been taking one tablet twice a day for about a week now and my life has changed dramatically. I've gone fro 0 to 60 in a matter of days, my energy is back and better than before. I hadn't realized just how foggy my mind was until I started taking this supplement. I was in a constant depressive haze, when I didn't have work I spent hours laying in bed drifting in and out of sleep, unable to muster up the energy to enjoy my life. Having no experience with any similar products I cannot say that this product is one of a kind, although I can say that it reacted extremely well to my body and produced amazing results. I urge you to do your research too, but upon reading these reviews I think you will find it obvious that this is a superior product for those with thyroid issues.

I ordered this product because I was desperate to find something that would help me get back to my old self - the one who wasn't fuzzy headed and exhausted all the time. Thyroid issues run in my family and it's very difficult to get a doctor to correctly diagnose hypothyroidism or Hashimotos using the World Health criteria vs. the US criteria, which leaves a lot of people with thyroid symptoms without the correct diagnosis and struggling. Several doctors have offered me anti-depressants except I'm tired with no energy and fuzzy headed, but not clinically depressed so what's the point of taking something that isn't going to address the actual potential cause? I've been taking this product for just about 4 weeks now, and here's what I've noticed: My first week in, I noticed I woke easier in the mornings. For someone whose normal morning mode is a complete inability to think or do much of anything until they've drank coffee for a good hour, that was interesting. I still need my coffee, but I'm clearer headed upon waking than I have been in years. By the end of my first week, I noticed my quality of sleep had improved and I actually felt like I was getting sleep, vs waking up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. My second week I noticed a change in my energy levels during the day. I was struggling with an afternoon slump every day at work where I would fight not falling asleep at my desk. It was literally every single day that this was happening. It occurred to me during my 2nd week that my energy levels were sustained during the day, and I wasn't nodding off. First I attributed it to how busy I was, but it's continued and I've been able to get through the day without that extreme exhaustion, save for 2 days right before my cycle started, but even that was not as bad as it normally is. My third week in, and my husband has commented how much more engaged I am when I get home from work, where I used to be so exhausted I couldn't think straight, let alone hold a decent conversation. I also noticed there's far less hair fall out when showering and styling my hair, and my nails which were heavily ridged are starting to smooth out. My energy levels remain at an even level, and I'm finding it easier to focus during the day without being so fuzzy headed that I have to stop and re-think what I'm doing. This is huge since my job is very demanding and requires being able to bounce between multiple major projects with frequent interruptions constantly. My fourth week I'm holding steady with my energy levels, sleeping better and waking easier than I have in years. I can have normal conversations with my husband after work, and I've been able to take on more home projects that I wanted to do but just couldn't get up the energy for. My metabolism had previously slowed to a crawl - I was able to jump start that by following the Ketogenic diet and while that was great for dropping the weight, I also know me, and I'm bad to stick with a diet for any length of time. I'm not strictly following the Keto meal plan any longer, but remarkably, I'm also not packing back on the pounds like I feared I would when I went off the rails. Mind you, I'm not eating a ton of processed foods or junk, and it's easy for me to say no to bread, so that helps, but still...this is the stage where my metabolism would have reverted back and I'd have seen a weight increase of 5 pounds by now. Nope, still maintaining my weight. As with any supplement, I'm leery of it's claimed effects and I was really hesitant to try this but desperation won out. Now I'm kicking myself for not trying this sooner. I'm hopeful that over time I'll see even more energy and benefits since it seems like the effects accumulate bit by bit, at least for me. I will absolutely continue using this supplement since the difference has been night and day for me and I cannot imagine going back to how I felt before this. UPDATE 11-16-2017 I am still using the Thyroid Support Complex and am STUNNED by it's effectiveness. I'm still reaping all the benefits, clearer thinking, stabilized energy through out the day, better sleep, no weight gain (and I realize this is not a weight loss product, but anyone with thyroid issues knows that weight gain and losing weight is a huge problem with a sluggish thyroid) - all in all, my life has improved tremendously. Hair fall out has decreased significantly and my hair is starting to feel thicker again, the nail ridges are almost completely gone, and my tolerance to cold has improved immeasurably. (normally I'm constantly cold) Another surprising (but really awesome) benefit has been the return of my libido, which thrills my husband to no end. I don't see myself ever stopping this supplement, it has given me back my life.

Good

Total disappointment...
