Re: *Firstimer here with Question

[Guest guest]

Well, I think most people here are getting the NATURETHROID from BIOGENESIS

or ANTIAGING. If you scrap your prescription, this will cost you around

$30-35 a month for the ammount you are taking (add shipping)

They tell me it is the same thing with slightly different fillers...I forget

exactly what. will probably chime in and tell you, but I wanted to

just welcome you and say HI!

I don't understand why you are taking two different strengths? Huh? The

above only come in 1/2 and 1 grain sizes. Cut the tablets in half when

needed.

There was another source that was less expensive, but it has been pulled

from the internet, at least for the time being....hope someting new will

re-emerge.
