Additional notes

"Stabilizes blood glucose, prevents hypoglycemia "crashes," and a weight loss aid, this blend from a brilliant herbalist really works! I have hundreds of happier patients who can vouch for it. One or two capsules with every meal, safe up to 12 capsules daily (yes, twelve); most folks use 6 daily. May be discontinued once you get control of your diet and your insulin resistance. -DM."

"For insulin resistance and/or weight loss: Take one with every meal; may take 2 per meal; target dose 4-6 daily. For SIBO: Instead of CandiBactin-BR which is on back-order: Take 2 capsules, 2x daily, along with CandiBactin-AR, 4 weeks, then re-test. -DMcK."

Additional notes

"Berberine is useful for many aspect of health, and this particular form of berberine is the best on the market. Plus it is made on Oregon. TAKE ONE TABLET, TWICE DAILY, FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS: -blood glucose regulation (including pre-diabetes and hypoglycemia) -insulin resistance -poor digestion (this counts as "bitters," a general digestive tonic for everyone) -suspected overgrowth of intestinal bacteria or fungi (candida) -overweight or over-fat :-) Don't expect to "feel" a whole lot...but do expect a general shift in a healthier direction! -DMcK."

"My #1 favorite herbal blend! Encourages thyroid gland and body tissues to perform properly; improves Free T3 and Reverse T3 balance; reduces Hashimoto's antibody count. Two capsules daily, with or without food, your choice. Best if taken one in the morning plus one in the evening. Some people feel better on four daily. This stuff works almost as well as prescription thyroid hormone -- give it a chance. :-) Dr.Deb NOTE: Includes ashwagandha, a beloved soothing & normalizing herb that originated in India but is now grown in Oregon. It's a member of the nightshade family of plants, so folks who are quite sensitive to other nightshades will not like this blend (tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant, peppers, tobacco are all nightshades).

"Thyroid support that also thickens hair. Dose is 2/day. Includes non-hormone thyroid glandular extract. Lots of happy people report thicker, glossier hair; if this is what your body needs, then you will see the difference within 2 months. -DMcK. "

"Tyrosine 100mg plus 7-keto DHEA (which is testosterone-like but milder) -- acts to speed up metabolism, so it's both a weight loss aid and a version of thyroid support that's a good alternative to my favorite "ThyroCare," which has too many herbs for certain sensitive folks. Start with one each morning to get used to it; later, OK to add another capsule at mid-day or afternoon. It is stimulating -- not recommended near bedtime! -DMcK. "

"This metabolism-booster is a safe, male-type hormone closely related to testosterone, safe for women and men alike. Both a weight-loss aid and a boost for ambition and libido. Start with one every 2nd day to get used to how you feel. Gradually increase up to dosage on label (2x daily). -DMcK. "

"HPA Adapt is my favorite support for daytime stability, focus + calmness. It works in almost everyone! Dose is highly variable from one person to another: Take 1-4 with breakfast plus 1-4 with lunch. Watch for improved "energy, focus and calm." If you are starting or adjusting your Rx thyroid dosage, then additional adrenal support is essential for your health & well-being! -Dr.Deb NOTE: Includes ashwagandha, a beloved soothing & normalizing herb that originated in India but is now grown in Oregon.

"Take one or two TABLETS before bed to help STAY asleep. Reduces overnight stress reactions. Safe for daytime use, does not cause drowsiness, just reduces stress reactions. -DMcK.

""Cortisol Manager" IN CAPSULE FORM works to PREVENT surges of cortisol that are disruptive to sleep (cortisol is the antidote to melatonin, the sleep hormone). Cortisol Manager allows you to STAY asleep through the night. Dosing is around bedtime, start with 1 capsule, if that's not enough, please take 2 capsules. If that is still not enough, it's rare for 3 capsules to work better, so please call me to explore other pathways, OK? Sweet dreams! -Dr.Deb NOTE: Includes ashwagandha, a beloved soothing & normalizing herb that originated in India but is now grown in Oregon.

"Best multivitamin I've ever found! Best pre-natal as well. Take one at beginning of meal (not just snack); ALWAYS WITH FOOD, WITH FOOD, WITH FOOD please. This formula includes vitamins, minerals, and vitamin D3. This is a great Oregon product and it's better for pregnancy than any so-called prenatal formula I've ever found. -DMcK. "
