NATURE-THROID is NOT made by Western Research Labs...

[Guest guest]

Oops. I just found out something that shocked me (did this

information go right over my head in the past??). Nature-Throid is

DISTRIBUTED by Western Research, but is MADE by Time Caps Labs. Yup,

I heard it straight from the mouth of Western Research this morning.

And.....the rep at Western Research said it was true for Armour....

....NOPE. The rep at Forest Pharmaceuticals assured me that Forest

MAKES Armour!

Now....does this mean that Nature-throid is inferior, since some

folks here who take Time Caps generic thyroid have found the generic

to be less strong than Armour? Not necessarily. Though Time Caps

makes a GENERIC NATURAL THYROID and makes NATURE THROID, there are

different fillers in Nature-throid, and fillers apparently CAN make

a difference in how a product is absorbed by you!

More of what the Forest rep said in next post.........

Yes, I read an explanation somewhere, by Time Caps, or someone, that they

first made the Westthroid?? I believe. Then, because of so many allergic

people, they created an alternative, which is the Naturethroid. I'm doing

fine on it myself, though I did a lot of complaining about the texture, and

it doesn't dissolve easily, plus the taste. I know it's working, though. I

really don't see that many " allergic " fillers left out of it, mainly because

anyone can be allergic to so many things, and I think it has even more

fillers in it than Armour does.

Yes, ! I have noticed the same about the fillers in

Naturethyroid--there are MORE than in Armour. So I believe that the

term " hypoallergenic " attached to Naturethroid is more of an

advertising ploy. Or, since Westhroid contains cornstarch (and

causes an allergic reaction in those with a sensitivity to corn),

perhaps Naturethroid was termed " hypoallergenic " as compared to

Westhroid, since Naturethroid contains cellulose instead of the

cornstarch........Armour also contains cellulose....
