I was taking BB for over a month with the l-tyrosine and kelp but I still can't get my body temp up past 97.6. I talked to bountiful and the lady told me to stop taking the BB pill for at least 3 weeks. That was the last thing I expected to hear but I'm trusting that she knows what she is talking about. She said it was not good to that the l-t and kelp at the same time as the BB. ??????? I thought lots of you girls were taking it with the pills. Has anyone been able to get their body temp up? Has anyone had to take different supplements for their adrenals?? I'm begining to think that's my problem.

What?! Did she give a reason for not taking LT and kelp at same time as BB?

I just bought some liquid potassium iodine, and it made my temp go up the same day. Course it wouldn't be good if you are allergic to iodine...
I have also used Raw Thyroid supplement (for low thyroid).
The L tyrosine always gave me headaches

Hi Kate... I think she said something like it cancels each other out?? I don't quite understand it but she said you should take it separate from the BB pill.
Do you take anything in addition to the iodine?

Hi MyJourney... I thought about taking the bovine thyroid but I guess I would have to stop taking the l-tyrosine and kelp then??? or would I take it with it?

Thanks, Lindyrose!

Aside from the kelp included in the BB pill itself, I don't take any additionally....breakout big time whenever I tried. Also have this shelfish allergy which I try not to aggravate, and iodine is a problem with this.

I do take 1500 mg of L-Tyrosine/day, which I find is normally sufficient to get me to the 97.7-98.6 mark. This is a HUGE accomplishment for me! Cold blooded I guess- but warm heart lol!

I'll be sure to seperate it, timing wise from the BB for a bit and see what happens. Thanks for passing this on!

Hope you find something to work for you

That's another reason I prefer the generics.

You can start with l'tyrosine in the morning on an empty stomach and then take your BO with breakfast.

You can also try the iodine patch, which is something I like to do, and that is to paint a little patch with first-aid type iodine on your belly every morning. As your deficiency is addressed, you can skip every other day, then every two or three days. Mineral deficiencies are usually pretty easy to fix.

I'm not sure if the "patch" method will cause an alergic effect, but it's cheap enough to give it a shot.

Fawn

Hi Fawn. I had never heard of doing an iodine patch before but I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks for sharing that with me :) I stopped taking the liquid iodine for a few days while I did a liver cleanse and it went back down.
