In general, the product looks very good--most folks would not recommend bitter orange, but perhaps the dosage is very low or synergistic with the other herbs in some way. When I went to the website, it is even recommended directly given to children 12 and up, so I would suggest calling them for info, if the nutritionist cannot answer the question (including by muscle-testing the baby).

Hi All,

heck!). Thank in advance! Please e-mail privately to

The Nutritionist/herbalist muscle tested my thyroid, it is a little low, she
recommended a product which she has used and had good luck with on lots of
her patients. It is called Quantum rx thyroid complex by Quantum Nutrition
Labs. I went on the website and of course they don't list ingredients so
here it goes ( serving size 1 capsule) I should take 3 a day, Proprietary
