Thyroid Glandular Supplement Side Effect

Hi everyone,

I have tried to add Swanson's thyroid glandular to my regime, and I was wondering if anyone could speak to a side effect I am having. When I take the glandular supplement, I get severe hot flashes and become very tired. I am wondering if I should just push through a week to see if these symptoms lessen, as I did with the iodine. I presently take 50mg of Lugols solution (with companion nutrients). I pushed my way through the horrible heavy metal detox symptoms at 100mg. When I had no additional symptoms, I reduced back to 50mg.

My hair is falling out far less, but that is the only benefit I have seen, which is why I added the glandular supplement. When I took the supplement, I did have some sensation of something happening in my throat around the thyroid area, which I never had even at 150mg of iodine.

Has anyone had the hot flash/tiredness symptoms before. Am I inducing a greater condition of hypothyroidism?
