i was recrommended a supplement in my local health food shop called TH207 by BioCare to take alongside my eltroxin, does anyone know if this is ok? it contains vit A, C, Bs, calcium, mag, selenium, dulse, ginseng, licorice, L-Glysine, L-Tyrosine, L-Glutamine, Lipase, cellulase and amylase
thanks 
Personally I only supplement what I know I am definitely deficient in. It has taken me a long time to get ALL the tests done by my GP or endo but I have got there in the end and now know exactly what I need and, perhaps more importantly, what I don't need.
I know this is probably not what you were hoping to hear but supplementing when you don't need to can cause you more problems in the long run.

What leaps out at me is this : dulse. Dulse is like kelp, it's seaweed and it's high in iodine. Iodine stimulates the thyroid, and if your thyroid is having problems, the last thing is wants is stimulating. Too much iodine is as bad as not enough.
Personally, I would be wary of the ginseng and licorice, too. This is not something I would want to take with a sick thyroid. If you want the vits, calcium, mag and selenium, take them seperately - about four hours apart from your thyroid meds.
That's my opinion, anyway, Grey
Supplements that are usually recommended when hypothyroid are B12, magnesium, iron, VitD3, other useful supps are C, selenium, E, iodine, zinc and copper. You need to be careful not to take too much calcium
The GP will test for B12, D3,calcium and iron if you ask (and you should probably do that ASAP) but I think few will test for other minerals. The levels should probably be in the upper range of normal so don't be fobbed off by GP saying they are OK. Get a print out and post them.You can do private testing for the other minerals or keep to RDA to be safe. I take a good multivitamin, extra B12, D3, C, selenium and iron
