Hi,

I have just sent a question regarding Iron, Ferritn and Folate acid in relation to NDT tablets. *I forgot to explain that at the moment

Have to answer: Love and Marriage, Horse and Carriage...

Was recently reading a paper containing results from hypothyroid people with low iron. Everyone saw iron levels increasing as thyroid improved.

At the same time, inadequate iron does seem to be related to excessive production of reverse T3 and inadequate conversion to T3.

I don't think that you can reasonably expect your iron levels to increase sufficiently by taking only thyroid hormones - a bit, yes, probably due to better absorption.

I don't think you can expect your thyroid hormone levels to increase sufficiently by taking only iron (of whatever source).

I think you need both and should, probably, try to achieve improvements in both at the same time. Of course, take thyroid hormone and iron separated by at least four hours from each other!

If you are comfortable doing so, then heme iron can be a good idea.
