I’ve never lost weight on it. I’ve taken it for many years.

Hi there 🤗I believe it does help in adding weight loss because it works as a hormone replacement. I have been taking it for 5 yrs now and although it doesn’t help shed a lot of pounds it has helped me to not put too much on. I did notice if I messed up on my Daily dose I started to put on weight though. ( but everyone is different) hope that helps @Dawn33 ❤️

no, I still have to do blood work and stuff first but one of my doctors said they might put me on it, I was just wondering if it’ll help me lose any weight
