Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 ONLY because of food allergies I have (not the proportion of porcine thyroid hormones, because that is a good thing), it's the " other ingredients " in it that worry me. If I just knew what those other ingredients were, it might be okay, plus, do they have an explanation of the way they process it, to make sure it is a precise dose?

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Oh, yes, that wonderful aroma! LOL in Va. That is really good to know...especially after my yukky misinformation post a few days ago about this. I ordered both 1gr & 2gr generic, opened the 1gr first and it had no insert. The 2gr bottle had one with the info just as you posted. Thanks for your follow up on this...go to the head of the class! :-)) ~see Oh, btw, I've been taking this since last Thursday. The only difference I detect is in the taste (sublingual). The generic is just not sweet. When you open the sealed bottle you sure get that same beautiful " eau d'porcine " aroma, too. ************************************************************* > Well folks, I just decided to quit wondering and go to the source. > I just spoke with Dr. Patel at Time-Cap Labs that produce the > generic that is on the Rx for less site.
