Thytrophin

[Guest guest]

One person responded to my previous post about hyperthyroid symptoms

on Thytrophin. Has anyone experienced worsening of hyperthyroidism

from taking Thytrophin, or other adverse side effects?

This article talks about hyperthyroidism resulting from supplements,

and didn't give a reference for this statement - so don't know if

it's credible, but stated, " The popular glandular extract

Thyrotrophin PMG contains 109 mg of thyroid glandular extract free

of thyroxine in each pill, and the recommended dose is 3 pills

daily. Therefore, each Thyrotrophin pill contains 109 mg of an

extract primarily containing triiodothyronine (T3) a thyroid hormone

that is 5-10 times as potent as thyroxine "

This article states caution about over-the-counter glandular

supplements as not being regulated by the FDA.

" Many of these products do not list their country of origin or the

type of animal and tissues used on their label. "

This abstract doesn't mention if this supplement contained hormone

or not, but reports hyperthyroidism developing in an individual

using a supplement.

Please let me know your experiences.
