Biotics Research GTA Forte II™ Selenium Supplement with Zinc, Copper, Porcine Glandular & Rubidium, Endocrine Glands Support, Optimal Hormonal Balance, Phytochemically Bound Trace Elements 90 Capsules

My doc recommended this supplement for me. I began feeling better (running at normal temperature, more energy, etc.) (53 yoa female, post surgical menopause. ) Over time, and feeling good, I thought I could reduce some of the supplements I'm on.... a few months in I started feeling sluggish and cold all the time, like not running on all cylinders. I noticed some extra weight gain. I returned back to the old protocol, to include taking this supplement and within a month my bloodwork looks quite a bit better and I'm feeling much better too. Bottom line, it seems expensive but it's entirely worth the cost to have such improved health.

I’m in the the process of treating hypothyroidism somewhat successfully through the official medical route; I was prescribed Armour 45mg a day (which was too low I thought but I took what I could get), until Armour stopped working and now I’m on Synthroid 75 mcg a day. It’s either I need a larger dose or I need something else, but I do not feel great on Syntroid. I feel angry and depressed. It did take away my joint pain. I felt better in Armour, but Synthroid is the treatment du jour. When I took Forte GTA II I must say that I felt immediately a difference within 20 minutes of taking one capsule. I now take three capsules a day in top of the Synthroid and I’m feeling very good and happy. No depression. I don’t have my endo appointment til December, so I plan to discontinue the for three weeks GTA II until my next blood test and then start it again after. I don’t feel comfortable telling my doctor about this, but I may. Update: It’s been about two weeks since I wrote this I believe and I have lost 6 lbs. I gained 22 lbs on Synthroid since I stopped Armour and I’m very happy to report that by taking this supplement my metabolism is faster. There is no way I have reduced 10500 calories a week to lose this kind of weight (if you take calories in calories out approach). I have reduced calories as I’m not ravenously hungry, but the reduction is about 3500 a week (to lose 1lb, not three like I have). I’m more energized from this and I stay awake and I probably burn more calories by being more active, and I haven’t had to starve myself at all.

After taking Armour for 9 yrs and still dealing with low thyroid symptoms of weight gain, always cold, skin so dry it was flaking and no energy, but my TSH # was always within normal range so therefore, per PCP 'all was well'! Went to a Naturopath, she mentioned this product was something available to try. I was hesitant about stopping the Armour, but did, and replaced it with this! It has been the BEST decision that I could have made for my health! I noticed improvement within the first week, and I've been taking it for about 2 mos and honestly, I feel great, I'm energized, not cold, my skin continues to improve, 10 lb weight loss so far, and my TSH test went from 4.1 to 2.7. I felt so lousy for so long, I had totally forgotten what feeling great actually felt like! Thank you for this product!

These keep me going ❣️ Why did you pick this product vs others?: The contents and quality.

Listen I’m 24, I was diagnosed at 21. Spent 2 years taking levothyroxine, and tyrosint and other kinds of pharmaceutical crap the doctor was madly recommending me…well I worked for a holistic dentist in Tampa and I saw many many holistic pts and one lady recommended me to quit all those meds and try this together with immunomoda curcumin every day and so I did quit meds and didn’t take anything for a while, when I got a blood work my TSH was 11 super high, then I started taking what the lady recommended for 1 year now and just in march of 2023 I checked my blood again and boom normal values are from 0-4 well guess what, I naturally got a 2 by taking natural medicine 🌱 I am so happy this is the first thing I did when I got my results…if u have Hashimoto’s please try this, it might work just like it did wonderfully for me. And I only took 1 pill a day, the lady recommended me 2 a day but I tried only 1 a day so, it might vary for everyone. I hope God and natural medicine heals u thyroid if you are here reading this review!!!!!

I needed to find a domestic replacement for the Thyroid-S that I was getting from Thailand. I have been on this product for Ive a month and AS FAR AS I CAN TELL ... it seems to be working great. The only catch is that I get a little belly ache from it so I always need to take with food which is usually a no-no for thyroid meds. Anyone else experience this?

I have been using this product for years. I can’t take regular meds for thyroid because of side effects so I started using these as a supplement to my regular diet and they have really helped with my energy levels.will continue to use these to supplement my dietary needs. I need to add that while I had been taking this product for years, I will no longer be taking it-it has gotten WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Too bad, because I used this product daily for years and can no longer afford it. It has either become that the ingredients are too expensive or just corporate greed. I will try to find something else.

I love this product!! After years of treating my thyroid/Hashimotos disease with an endocrinologist without results, I started taking this. For the first time in years my thyroid panel is within normal range. Better yet, I feel so much better. More energy, more calm, less joint pain... I would recommend this product
