I remember an uncle of mine who had a thyroid control problem a few years ago. He lost a lot of weight when his thyroid started to go cuckoo on him. Everyone in the family who’s been having some weight management issues has started to envy him. Until one day, he passed out and had to undergo a surgical procedure. Although I don’t know if he’s ever used ThyroStart, this post I dedicate to him and all of those who are trying to tame their thyroid problems.

ThyroStart is a supplement for thyroid control which is commercialized as a way for thyroid problem sufferers to avoid too much weight gain.

About.com Guide Mary J. Shomon shared what one who’s considering to take ThyroStart as a weight loss supplement should take note of:

- Although it’s composed of major vitamins and minerals needed by the body, ThyroStart does not contain enough concentrations of those vitamins and minerals to take care of the deficiencies.

- ThyroStart contains Thydrazine, which is probably composed of herbal supplement content like ephedra or ma huang, ingredients that may cause heart risks and stroke.

- ThyroStart contains kelp meal that contains iodine. And, iodine is known to aggravate hypothyroidism.

What is important is one should never rely on just supplements to support his or her weight loss goals. Consulting a nutritionist or any weight management expert is still one wise decision.
