Brief Answer:
Can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Going by your reports it looks like your thyroid function is not under control . I suggest you to increase thyroxine to 75 mcg a day.
Herbalife formula 1 can be taken along with this, but you cannot stop thyroxine

I hope I was of help. If you have any further queries please get back to me.

Body swelling

Hello

Thanks for getting back

Swelling of the body or in other words gain of weight is because of uncontrolled thyroid problem and not because of formula1. Formula1 and afresh from Herbalife has known to have good properties so you can continue to take it

Soy products are harmful only in patients who are allergic to it. I am not sure why your doctor does not recommend it, I recommend soy to all my patients
