We decided to review one of the new thyroid supplements on the market. Thyrobin is produced by a California company named Rejuvica Health that focuses on providing “top quality, advanced” supplements. Thyrobin is certainly different since the supplement is in a liquid extract rather than a capsule. Lets see if the move paid off for Rejuvica Health or if it limited their options.
WHAT IS Thyrobin?
Thyrobin is a thyroid liquid formula that claims to be an advanced “remedy designed to fight the symptoms of underactive thyroid and get your metabolism firing on all cylinders.” The supplement is made by a California company named Rejuvica Health and is current priced at $32.87 for a one month supply.
Thyrobin EFFECTS AND BENEFITS
Thyrobin contains Iodine, stinging nettle leaf, shepherd’s purse herb, black walnut hull, spirulina, kelp thallus, Irish moss, dulse thallus, bladderwrack thallus, fenugreek seed, coleus forskohlii root, sage leaf, astragalus root, ashwagandha root, and horsetail. Everything other than the Iodine is in a proprietary blend, so the exact values of each ingredient are not available. Rejuvica Health prides itself on the natural ingredients in Thyrobin and uses “advanced cold-extraction processes to draw a potent, bioavailable concentration of each.” Although no vitamins or minerals are listed in the supplement facts label, Rejuvica Health claims the Spirulina ingredient provides Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Copper, Iron, Iodine, and Magnesium nutrients the Thyroid requires. It seems unrealistic however, to us, that this one ingredient in a low amount provides all the necessary daily recommended amounts.
The main difference with Thyrobin compared to other thyroid supplements is the method of ingestion. While most supplements contain pills, tablets, or capsules, Thyrobin instead uses liquid and a dropper to deliver the nutrients to a body. Rejuvica Health claims that this method (liquid extracts) “may be up to 72% more effective than pills.” They reason that because “a pill or tablet must first be broken down and digested before it can begin to take effect. Much of the substance gets wasted during digestion, and the process takes much longer.” Since Thyrobin is a liquid, the process is much shorter and thus more effective.
There seem to be doubts regarding this claim. When it comes to absorption, slower absorption of essential nutrients seems to be better for the body from what we have read. In fact, All Star Health, a popular health and fitness store, states the difference between liquid supplements and other forms “is not great enough to amount to a noticeable or significant nutritional difference.” Thyrobin’s website mentions multiple studies that state otherwise, but we had trouble finding these studies anywhere on the website or through a quick search on google. We did find, however, a disclaimer on the bottom of Thyrobin’s website that states “information contained in this Website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not intended as and should not be relied upon as medical advice.”
- Contains Iodine and Spirulina
- No other vitamins or minerals
- May be ineffective
- Dubious reviews
Thyrobin REVIEW AND EXPERIENCES
The reviews for Thyrobin on marketplaces such as Amazon seem to be slightly positive ostensibly. However, a closer look seems to indicate that most of the positive reviews have the statement “I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review” attached somewhere in the text of the review. We believe it is hard to be impartial when you receive a product for a much lower price, but you can make your own assumptions.
However, according to Fakespot, a website dedicated to analyzing reviews and then calculating a grade based on the authenticity of reviews, gave Thyrobin a “F” rating with 77% of the reviews being what it deemed low quality. You can check out the rating for yourself on this link.

Please help me
I need to know if this will affect the warfarin I have to take for an enlarged heart and arithymia ..

Hi Joyce,
For any thyroid support supplement, it is best to check with your doctor regarding existing medical conditions.
Hi If I am taking a plant-based vitamin that contains 150 mcg, is it still okay to take this supplement? I just worry about too much Iodine. Thank you!
* Correction 150 mcg of Iodine in the plant-based multivitamin
I dont work for the company but you can take the 150mcg of iodine with this stuff. Technically there are reports of people taking 7 or more grams of iodine and being fine. So the 150mcg shouldnt have any negative effects. If it does then simply stop taking one or the other.
Hi Thyroid Advisor, I have just purchased the thyrobin and have been taking it for half a week now. I am wondering what’s the best way to take it, like should it be on a empty stomach or with meals?? Does it even matter? Please advise with any other tips because I want to maximize benefits as much as possible. Thank you
Sure….you are welcome to revise the score from your end. And feel free to delete the con as well. Thanks!
Hi Stella,
As I mentioned before, I am restricted from doing so, so that potential bias or favoritism cannot be introduced. You would have to change it from your end.
Every person is different and needs different combinations of food and supplements to stay in balance and healthy. For me, Thyrobin has been awesome! My brain feels clear and free of cravings for sugar and caffeine. My energy and motivation to be active feels alive and fun again! Final bonus…I’m losing unnecessary weight, which is also fun!
Hi Stella,
It’s great that you found a thyroid supplement that works for you!
I definitely agree with you that the scoring tool could be better and more intuitive. The general idea is that you have to score every category of the thyroid supplement, where 0 is the lowest score and 10 is the highest score.
For the side effects scoring option, I guess a better wording would be “Lack of Side Effects.” If there wasn’t any side effects, then the score would be a 10 ideally. If you experienced a lot of negative side effects, the score would be given a 0.
I guess it’s not very intuitive now that I read your comment and thought about it, but unfortunately I did not design the tool.
Hopefully you can update your score if you wish to do so, so that it better reflects the true score of the product (I am unable to do so from my side.)
Once my thyroid levels return to normal is it necessary to continue use of thyrobin?
It is not absolutely necessary to continue taking thyrobin. So, if you feel that your thyroid levels are back to normal you can stop taking it. However, if you start to feel the symptoms of hypothyroidism again, it might be helpful to recontinue taking the supplement.
Can Thyrobin be taken with Levothyroxin? If so how much time between taking them? Thanks
Not sure, but I would lean towards a no. There are a lot of drug interactions with Levothyroxine as seen here: https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/levothyroxine.html. This is a question you would have to ask your doctor and Rejuvica Health.
DOES NOT WORK. IN FACT; It seems I’ve loss more energy since taking thyrobin. Estroven from Walmart really works and does as it says.
very good Dietary supplement works really good. Gave back my life
