I have tried lots of sups and think now I might be taking to many and wasting money. I am hypothyroid after thyroid removal last summer for Graves.

Im taking

Thyrosense x 2

Sea kelp x 1

Vit D3 x 1

Cod liver oil x1

Vb6 complex x 1

I do feel better, but it's costing me.

Hope you can help x

My Endocrinologist told me that everyone in the UK should be taking Vitamin D. We don't have enough sunlight in this country even in the summer. I follow her recommendation.

Nicky, I take vitD3, B12, B complex, magnesiium, zinc and vitC. First two are via Amazon and the others are supermarket own brands. I get Selenium from 2/3 Brazil nuts daily.

I'm not sure kelp is necessary or recommended when on Levothyroxine or why you need Thyrosense when you are thyroidless.

I am curious Clutter that you take selenium? I took it when I had a thyroid, but now it has been removed, I don't bother. Is there something I don't know?

Margo, selenium is particularly good for thyroid health but it is good for general health too. It was recommended to me by a thyroidless patient and I love Brazil nuts so I happily followed her recommendation. :)

Thanks all, looks like I do need to look at what I'm taking and replace Thyrosense with just B complex, magnesiium, zinc.

Cheers
