How Pregnistar Products work
Nicotinamide + Thyroxine + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is a combination of three medicines: Nicotinamide + Thyroxine + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)1, Nicotinamide + Thyroxine + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)2 and Nicotinamide + Thyroxine + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)3. Nicotinamide + Thyroxine + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)2 is a synthetic version of a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It works by replacing the thyroid hormones that your thyroid gland cannot produce. This relieves the symptoms of hypothyroidism (tiredness, weight gain, and depression). Nicotinamide + Thyroxine + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)1 and Nicotinamide + Thyroxine + Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)3 provide essential nutrients.
