The product you posted is a homeopathic remedy. These products are diluted to practically INFINITY... and the THEORY is that for some reason they work.
The homeopathic mindset is to treat like with like... so the body gets better.
That is if you have poison ivy, you take a remedy containing poison ivy
ingredients.
Here is an explanation of the dilutions that appear on your label:
Quote:
Homeopathy is the field of medicine formulated by Dr. Samuel Hahneman, M.D., starting with the codification of the word Homeopathy in 1796, and which he continued formulating and modifying right up until his death at age 88, in 1843.
Key to the philosophy is the serial dilution of the remedies that get STRONGER "Biologically" as they get more dilute, or WEAKER from a "chemical" standpoint.
THE MORE DILUTE THE REMEDY, THE MORE POTENT THAT IT IS FOR THE PATIENT.
However, there is another key piece of the Potentization Equation. In-between each dilution step is a SHAKING step, known as SUCCUSSION.
A remedy that is diluted 1:10, involves one part of the remedy to 9 parts of the diluent (which is usually a 20% alcohol water solution). This 1: 10 dilution is called a 1X dilution. Making another 1:10 of the first 1X is called 2X. Doing it again makes it 3X.
If a remedy is diluted 1:100 (one part remedy in 99 parts diluent) it's called a 1C dilution. 1:100 of the 1C is called 2C; another 1:100 is 3C; etc., etc.
A series of 1000 1:100 C dilutions is called a 1M dilution.
A 1:50,000 dilution is called a 1LM Potency; 1:50,000 of the first 1:50,000 is called 2LM; etc., etc.
HOWEVER, in between each serial dilution, in order for the dilution to be truly considered Homeopathic, it has to be VIGOROUSLY SHAKEN against either a leather book (Hahneman used his Bible) or the palm of the hand. This vigorous shaking is called SUCCUSSION, and is an integral part of the Homeopathic process.
The number of "succussions" required for each dilution is not necessarily cast in Homeopathic stone, and is a matter of debate among homeopathic physicians, some of whom actually violently disagree on the correct numbers almost as much as traditional doctors disagree with the validity of Homeopathy itself.

So in effect there are practically no active ingredients in it.
If you Google homeopathy, you can find more discussions on whether it is an effective intervention or not.
People with gluten intolerance, may have autoimmune thyroid disease. Did your doctor test you for antibodies? Also there are new guidelines for TSH levels. They have been lowered and not all doctors use them.
If you are low in zinc and/or selenium, you can fail to convert T4 into active T3 in the tissues. T4 is inactive until converted.
There are many doctors now doing physiological thyroid replacement.
Here is an example:

You will have to find a doctor who embraces this concept. Usually they are called Holistic.
