Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For the record I'm not a doctor. My experience with this product is mine and the opinions I express come with zero scientific backing. With that said, this is the best stuff out there. Here is why: In July 2014 I had my annual physical. When my numbers came back my TSH came in a little high around 5.5. I knew my diet and exercise left a lot to be desired (i'm 5'9" and weighed around 200 lbs) so my dr instructed me to increase my workouts, clean up the diet, and recommended testing again in 6 months (Dec 14). I did all of that but to no avail. My TSH had climbed to 6.1. The dr at that point put me on the generic version of the thyroid meds. I thought that it might help me lose a little weight but that didn't happen. I went back in July 2015 for my annual physical, strangely enough my TSH had risen to 6.5. My dr suggested i move to the brand Thyroid medication which i did. We tested again in Oct 2015 to make sure i was back in range and i was (about a 4.3 so BARELY in range). However, i didn't feel any different so at the end of Dec 2016 I decided to take matters into my own hands and to stop taking the medication. I thought with an even cleaner diet I could make changes. I decided to do the Whole30 in Q1 and see if that made a difference. I had read all about bone broth and the benefits so i thought maybe that was my answer. Yet at my annual exam in July 2016 and i was back out of range at around 4.8 (so out of range but not crazy) . I asked my dr for more time and she said ok, we will test again in Oct and see where you are. I didn't know what i was going to do but i was hellbent on solving this issue naturally. I felt strongly about not wanting to be tied to a medication for the rest of my life. When i was making my bone broth i noticed that i wasn't getting the jello-like effect and thus not the gelatin that i wanted. I had spoken to some friends about what they were doing and a gelatin/collagen powder came up. I decided to give it a whirl. The directions said to do 2 Tablespoons twice a day but I only did 2 Tablespoons once a day like once every three days. Even though i wasn't following the directions exactly I quickly noticed a change in my nails getting stronger and my eyebrows start to grow back in. It was amazing. I went back to get my blood work done in Oct 2016 and sure enough i was actually back in range at 4.2. The ONLY thing I had changed was this product to my routine. My dr was thrilled and she said that i could go until my physical in 2017. I have continued to use this product only once a week (for the majority of the time, as i got closer to getting my blood drawn you know i was doing it like every day!) and my results came in at 3.5 this past July. I've done the Whole30 several times since and while i think it offers a ton of health benefits this products got my TSH back in order. On the downside I still haven't lost any weight but i'm not on a medication that i will have to take for the rest of my life and for me, that is a win.
