Summary Of Our A.Vogel Thyroid Support Review
This product appealed to us for a number of reasons but was disappointing in other ways. Pricewise, at $17.99 for a 150 capsule/50 day supply bottle, this product is good value for money. We also liked that is is free from sugar, gluten, and lactose, and that the manufacturer's website provides clear, useful information about who this supplement is directed at, and clear dosage instructions. In terms of ingredients, this formula contains one of the key ingredients known to ensure the healthy functioning of the thyroid – kelp. We do also have some concerns however. There is no assurance that the product is free from binders and fillers, that it is made in an FDA certified facility or that it is certified GMO free. The following ingredients are lacking from this supplement and could be beneficial if present; selenium, magnesium, molybdenum, l-tyrosine, bladderwrack. There is no new customer incentive nor bulk buying discount provided by the manufacturer. There is no guarantee nor return policy to protect your rights as a consumer. It is not available for sale outside of Canada from the company website and unavailable on Amazon. We recommend that you skip this supplement and instead look for a thyroid supplement that has a reliable guarantee and return policy, with bulk buying discounts, and a wider list of beneficial ingredients.
