Struggling and needing advice on NDT
Hi all, I'm pretty new here - I was diagnosed as hypothyroid about 8 months ago after a private blood test showed my T4 level raised to 11.5, low Vitamin D & B12. I had my bloods done because I was so exhausted and so changed from my usual energetic self I thought I had cancer. My GP initially dismissed

New Blue Horizons Vitamin and Mineral test!
Hi everyone I've been supplementing as suggested by our excellent experts for a while, and wanted to see how things were looking.

Help for itchy, dry skin.
My skin has always been very dry, but has changed over previous months, feeling much more dry and uncomfortable with patches of eczema developing. (Am hypothyroid). On friend's recommendation have been using Equimins Udder Cream - 1 kg Tub - Eqs0367. It's actually for horses but is a non-greasy

Some down to earth advice needed please!
Hi I am taking 10ml MXT injection - going up to 15ml next week as I had a bad flare at 6 weeks in. I'm just wondering if anyone can advise me whether any of the supplements I'm taking could interfere with the MXT doing its job. I'm a bit gullible and tend to try anything I read about so am currently

Update - Blood work after taking Cytomel (T3)
After years and years on generic levothyroxine and years and years of hypo symptoms getting worse and worse, I put together a list of symptoms and asked my new (young) Primary Care Provider (a general practitioner) last year for treatment to correct at least some of these. She tested TSH and FT4 and

Zinc
Hi My gp recommended taking zinc 40mg a day as those of you who know me know I dont take anything unless I come here first for advice , i looked into it and it seems beneficial but it also says not for long term use and if too much taken can cause stomach cramps and flu like symptoms ? I have that

Taking Control of my PCOS
It’s been a while since I’ve given an update or posted anything. But lots have happened over the last few weeks/months so hard to know where to begin. I’ll go with my sleep study.

Vitamin & mineral blood tests interpretation
Hi everyone, I've had nutritional blood tests taken for the 1st time and am confused about the results. I wonder why the vitamin B results are arranged like this. Dificient >1.25 and <1.15 normal . I would have thought it would be the other way around so the highest amount would be normal and lowest

When do you take medicine, vitamins, suppl. ? am, pm?
I've just started to switch taking my pills from morning to evening. No ms related medicine but Effexor, Vit.D, Biotin, Zinc. And I started to read about how you're supposed to take these. It's incredibly complex, some should be taken 30 min before meal, some after food because of stomach acid,... for

Change of clinic, change of attitude
I’ve had a productive couple of weeks recently that I wanted to share here as this forum helped me get out of my despair. I received NHS funding for 2 cycles at an excellent clinic in London, and have had my first consultation there - love the doctor. She said one failed IVF cycle doesn’t indicate needing

New member seeking advice for underactive thyroid/hashimotos for 20yrs. Tests showing I need less thyroxine but symptoms show otherwise.
Thyroid problems run in my family. My grandma and father both had hashimotos and had their thyroids removed. I had been asking for tests on my thyroid for years as I showed signs but as I was not overweight and T4 levels 'normal' noone listened. Eventually a private doctor did TSH which was slightly

New results - Not sure what to make of them
Hi all I have some new results which to be honest don’t make sense. For the past 5 months I have been supplementing with selenium, Vit D + K2, Vit c & zinc, magnesium bisglycinate, a good quality b complex with folate and have increased my nutritional Iron. Tests were taken early am and I’m not on any

Vitamin D and testosterone co-ordinately modulate intracellular zinc levels and energy metabolism in prostate cancer cells.
"supplementation of vitamin D3 and testosterone can restrict the energy production that is required to drive PCa progression by maintaining proper zinc homeostasis and inhibiting TCA cycle activity in PCa cells." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30664926
