Synthroid (thyroxine) is the: Gold standard- the exact chemical structure of the natural hormone- just need to adjust dose to right dose for now ask yourself- what are you trying to treat with your medically unproven 'bladderwrack'- if you have symptoms not better with right dose of synthroid, (thyroxine) you should be looking for other medical causes of your symptoms- not wasting time, money, energy on 'bladderwrack!

Please don't: confuse the clinical picture by mixing Bladderwrack and synthroid (thyroxine). If you have Hashimoto's then you need to stick with your synthyroid.
