I haven't been officially diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. Can I still take Thyax?
Yes. Thyax may be taken without a definitive diagnosis. Although we recommend you getting the tests needed to diagnose hypothyroidism, Thyax can be used to support the current health of your thyroid, while ensuring that the specific nutrient deficiencies related to this condition are eliminated.
I hate going to the Doctor! What are some signs I can look for on my own to assess my personal risk?

If I'm currently taking synthetic medications for my thyroid problem, will Thyax still help?
Yes. Because Thyax is not a drug, the risk for interaction is extremely minimal. Thyax works to support the health of your thyroid gland by adding those nutrients needed by the thyroid for optimal functioning. In fact, most of our customers use Thyax as an adjunct to their existing treatment protocols. However, Progressive Health always recommends speaking with your health care provider before making any nutritional modifications while taking prescription medications.
Men vs. Women; who is diagnosed with thyroid deficiency more?
Statistics vary, but out of every 10 people diagnosed with hypothyroidism 7 or 8 of them will, most likely, be female. Researchers attribute this to the fact that women have more autoimmune disorders than men, and because of the continual hormonal and inflammatory fluctuations taking place with menstruation.
I've heard that you can lose your hair if hypothyroidism is not treated. Is this true?
Yes, hair loss can occur and is a dreaded consequence of this condition. A deficiency of thyroid hormone effects all metabolic processes within the body, including the hair system. Thyroid sufferers lose hair as a result of the decreased metabolism in the scalp follicles and impairment in the intestinal absorption of nutrients needed for hair health. Both factors adversely impact our hair's natural growth and release cycles, causing hair to become brittle, develop severe split-ends, breakage, and fall out.
If I decide to order Thyax, are Progressive Health's products sent discreetly?
Yes; Progressive Health respects your privacy. All orders will be shipped in a plain, unmarked envelope with a return address from Progressive Health Nutraceuticals Inc. (For more information about our shipping and billing policies, see Shipping and Billing below)
How soon can I expect to see results?
The results derived from Thyax are dependant on both the individual and severity of condition. While a large number of customers yield immediate results, others may see results in only a few short weeks. Generally, we advise that you use the product continuously, for a minimum of 45 - 60 days.
Are there any side effects when taking Thyax?
As with all nutritional supplements, there is potential for reaction. Progressive Health ensures that all potential conflicts and side effects are listed on the product information pages. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your physician if you suffer from any pre-existing conditions (other than an underactive thyroid), known allergies, or if you are currently taking any medications. Based on customer feedback, order history, and regular product overview, there has yet to be a report of any serious side effects resulting from the implementation of Progressive Health products into existing treatment programs.
