How To Maintain Better Thyroid Functioning?
I am interested in the thyrax supplement for a better functioning thyroid, where can I purchase it. I find it makes more sense to keep a healthy T4/T3 function then just controlling TSH with synthroid. would it be better to incorporate kelp daily to start changing from synthetic drug
