Thyro-Gold has 300 mg of thyroid powder in each capsule. Do you know why other products have only 130 mg per capsule?

November 30, 2009

Q: I’m happy to find that Thyro-Gold is a dietary thyroid supplements and doesn't require a prescription. I’ve ordered it already. I’ll be grateful if you’ll answer a question for me. I notice that a Thyro-Gold capsule has 300 mg of thyroid powder in it. Why do most other over-the-counter desiccated thyroid products have only 130 mg dosage?

Dr. Lowe: I don’t know for sure. My assumption is that people who used dietary desiccated thyroid powder in the past came to 130 mg of powder per capsule through trial and error.

 
Thyro-GoldTM Each capsule of dietary desiccated thyroid contains 300 mg of thyroid powder from New Zealand pasture-fed cows. Each capsule also contains 25 mg of Coleus forskohlii (10% forskolin).
 
Thyro-GoldTM is available in 90 capsule bottles. Compare this with RLC Labs Hypo Support Formula (HSF). HSF provides 60 capsules per bottle for the same price as 90 capsules of Thyro-GoldTM.
 
Save even more by purchasing bottles Thyro-GoldTM that contain 180 capsules.
 

Several years ago, I talked with a gentleman who started a well-known company that markets a dietary desiccated thyroid product that contains 130 mg of powder per capsule. He told me he had taken the time to talk with customers who repeatedly bought the product. Of those who said they had recovered their health, he asked how many capsules did the job for them. On average, he said, customers were satisfied with their use of the product when they took either 6, 7, or 8 capsules each day. The range of satisfactory daily dosages, then, was 6-to-8 capsules.

If he was correct about the dosage range that satisfied most customers, it means this: There were three sets of customers: (1) those who did well taking 780 mg of powder, (2) others who did well with 910 mg, and (3) others who needed to take 1040 mg.

Let’s say that those customers want to switch from the other product to Thyro-Gold. To get the same amount of thyroid powder with Thyro-Gold, customers who take 6 capsules of the other product will take only 2.6 capsules of Thyro-Gold. Those who take 7 capsules of the other product will take 3 Thyro-Gold capsules. And those who take 8 capsules of the other product will take only 3.5 capsules of Thyro-Gold.

You may wonder about taking half of a capsule of Thyro-Gold, or a little more or less. One can easily pull open Thyro-Gold capsules and then portion out the powder however he or she wants. I hope this is helpful to you, and I wish you the best with your use of Thyro-Gold.
