Not because it pooped out. I was taking it with Rhodiola and going through some changes with my medications. So I just dropped it and Rhodiola at the time trying to put an emphasis and focus on medications and how they were helping or not helping. I definitely feel more energized and I am experiencing elevation in mood. My whole body feels better also, I have less aches, pain and stiffness. This makes sense as holy basil is one of the ingredients in New Chapter's Zyflamed joint relief formula. There is a possibility that I am feeling better after 6 days of Synthroid, but I don't think it is just that because I started feeling much better about an hour after taking Holy Basil yesterday. It is possible that since Holy Basil may work on regulating the endocrine system there is some synergism between holy basil and Synthroid, making Synthroid work better and sooner. Still, I have to believe that there is something else going on here with Holy Basil that is creating the elevation in mood. Some have reported that they did not feel the effects of Holy Basil till after taking it for a few weeks or a month. So if you try it(I highly recommend New Chapter's), you may want to give it some time if you do not feel immediate effects from it.
