Conclusion

Healthy Choice Naturals Thyroid Essentials Claims to be an all-natural, stimulant free supplement and shows a certain level of transparency in its advertising by listing all of the ingredients and offering what seems to be an inclusive guarantee. However, the vagueness of the ingredients listed as herb powder leaves customers wondering what the supplement actually contains. This concern coupled with the fact that the statements made on the website by the manufacturer are not back with any scientific or medical evidence and the manufacturer fails to mention possible side effects for at least one of their ingredients.

All in all, this supplement may be well priced, but it’s ingredient descriptions are ambiguous and we are left wondering what other details have been left out and if they could possibly affect our health and well-being? More information than what is available is required before determining whether you should use this product or not.
