Supplements
Hi lovely people. Just a question. In the past, I have had v low iron, folate rock bottom and prob other vitamins low that I never had checked. I have worked a lot on my micro biome/gut this past year plus supplementing continuously. I cut out gluten as leaky gut was diagnosed through a test.

Correct me if I am wrong. Please
There are four forms of cobalamin commercially available for injection. Cynocabalamin which in tests of a non cobalamin deficient human has been tested for retention times. There is no comparative testing of the efficacy of Cynocabalamin versus other forms including no test of the effect on symptoms

Timings of NDT and iron supplements
Hi all, I'm struggling to maintain ferritin levels whilst also trying to adhere to the timings of iron supplements around my NDT and other vitamins. My ferritin is rarely higher than 20s (in the last ten years the highest it has been was 52 just once). I've been on NDT for a year and am gradually

The good doctor
I had a GP appointment this morning (double appointment) for a Medication Review. I haven’t had one since pre-Covid when I lived in a different part of the country. I crept into the surgery with fear in my heart as I prepared to explain the ins and outs of NDT. OH came with me as I was in the middle

My drs reduced my levo and now I'm having a mare.
So I've been suffering with swelling and pins and needles recently and my dr has said it must be my thyroid He's reduced levo from 100mcg to 75mcg. My t4 has gone from 13 to 11. The edema is worse now.. However my testerone has gone from normal 0.8... range 0.3-1.9 to 2.5!!! Does anyone know why

MTHFR gene / supplementation
In my quest to optimise my health and better understand my ADHD brain and the impact of my lifestyle choices, I have stumbled across a possible link between MTHFR gene mutation and ADHD. Gary Brecka human biologist (ref Geo et all 2018) and bio hacker and ADD Magazine both link these. If I understand

Can't tolerate Levothyroxine
Having terrible problems. Diagnosed hypo in August with hypo and hashimotos. Not been able to tolerate any levo meds. Accord 50mcg caused terrible dizziness after about 8 days. Dizziness went when I stopped. Wockhardte 25mcg also caused terrible dizziness and painful constipation within a few days. All

MMH latest bloods
Just wondered what members thought of this, on 200mcg Accord Levo. TSH 0.01 range 0.27 to 4.2 FT4 21.2 range 12-22 FT3 5.2 range 3.6-6.8. Does this show poor conversion? I supplement Vitamin D, B12, B complex and folate. I know if my NHS GP sees this he'll reduce dose based on TSH result and I've
