I have been taking Limbrel500 for about 6 weeks and am experiencing hair loss. I am on estraderm patches and take my own natural meds (small dose of each) and have taken these meds for over a year: 1 flaxseed, 1 fish oil, 1 melatonin, 1 glucosamin, 1 vitamin d, 1 coated baby aspirin. Is there any relationship to introduction of Limbrel500? ## Each capsule of Limbrel provides 500 mg of it's primary ingredient Flavocoxid and also contains 50 mg of citrated zinc bisglycinate, which provides 10 mg of Elemental Zinc. Possible side effects associated with bioflavonoids are more related to an allergic reaction to the medication rather the drug itself causing complications. Some allergic reactions can include: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. User...

Is Limbrel (contains goitogens) ok to take if I am hypo thyroid and on Levothyroxine? ## Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between Limbrel and Levothyroxine. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. Also to note: Limbrel is contraindicated in an extremely small number of patients; being those with hypersensitivity to any component of flavocoxid or to flavonoids. Unless you were diagnosed with this hypersensitivity then I wouldn't worry about this interaction. Does this help to answer your question? Please post back if you have any other comments or concerns regarding this. ## Very helpful. Thank you very much.

I was unable to continue Aleve after seven years. Pain pills made me to groggy and didn't really work. I was referred to a pain Dr. and was put on Limbrel 500/50mg Two times a day. This has to be the best medicine I have ever taken. I have regained my quality of life. Besides my osteoarthritis it helps me feel so much better, almost normal. I hope those of you who are about to give up hope will try this medication. It's very costly but the Dr. can give you samples and a coupon that will bring the cost down to about $50.00 a month. ## Thank you for sharing your experience with others! Limbrel contains Flavocoxid and Citrated Zinc and is specially formulated to help people that suffer from Osteoarthritis. While it can help with the pain and inflammation, it is actually considered ...
