Can OTC estrogen supplements like Estroven damage a persons thyroid?!


Question: Can OTC estrogen supplements like Estroven damage a persons thyroid!?
Answers:
It is extremely unlikely that Estroven would damage a woman's thyroid gland!. Soy, taken excessively, and all other members of both the legume (pea and bean and pulse) family plus the Cruciferae family (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Turnips, Radishes, Mustards, Brussels Sprouts, et al) can both have a depressant effect on the thyroid gland!. I am unclear however, that the amount of soy isoflavones at or in this product's recommended dosage are enough to have that depressant effect on T3, T4 or thyroxin!. I would probably be actually more concerned that the soy not be GMO, and would like to see the certification for this on the box, or in the product informational materials!.

This is the language taken from Estroven's own website: "Safety of Estroven's Ingredients
The two primary ingredients in our products
