Re: Fillers In Greater Pharma Thiroyd

[Guest guest]

> Does anyone know what the fillers are Geater Pharma Thiroyd? I have looked on Stop the Thyroid Madness but when the page was written the information about fillers wasn't available.

Hi Judy,

I once enquired about the fillers in Thiroyd from Greater Pharma, but they would not say. All I could get out of them is that Thiroyd does not contain Lactose. I am however let to believe that there are a lot less fillers in Thiroyd than in ThyroidS for instance. - I take Thiroyd myself (great stuff).

Best wishes,

I'll try to find my Thiroyd paperwork and see what it says.

In the meantime this is what Thyroid-S says:

ISO 9002-certified manu­fac­tu­rer of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal pro­ducts. " Patients

report they are quite plea­sed with this pro­duct. Sri­pra­sit sta­tes Thyroid-s

is gluten-free, but a patient has repor­ted clas­sic glu­ten diges­tive

symp­toms with it. To see a photo of the tablet, go here. Tablets are light

where do you buy Thiroyd from?  I just read about it and I want to try it bc it doesn't have any aluminum in it and I reacted badly to sythroid.
