Thyroid supporting suppliments

[Natj123]

Morning all, quick question, do any of you take suppliments to help support your thyroid? Natural health store ones that actually do help

[Clutter]

Natj, It would be better to stick with Levothyroxine for now, dose is likely to need increasing in a few weeks. Thyroid supplements may improve function temporarily but it won't necessarily be sustained.

Thanks clutter, I take s load of suppliments just didn't know whether to stop or continue as normal x

[Clutter in reply to Natj123]

Natj, I meant not to use thyroid supplements yet. You can continue taking your other supplements. Just make sure to take them 2 hours away from Levothyroxine.

Yes I take a load, chromium, sea kelp, aloe Vera, multivit, rasp ketones, green tea ha ha!

I take my levo at night as late as possible always 2hrs plus after eating but last 2 days from lunchtime onwards I've been feeling unwel I hope it's not the levo 😔

Natj, how much iodine is in the sea kelp?

[Natj123 in reply to Clutter]

Says 150 (ug)???

[Clutter in reply to Natj123]

Nat, 150mcg. Ok that's the max that should be taken.

[Natj123 in reply to Clutter]

I thought it was mcg but it was a funny shaped 'u' ha!!!

To be honest I think I'm coming down with a cold and that's why I'm under the weather xx

[Clutter in reply to Natj123]

Nat, you'd better add 1,000mcg vitamin C to your supplements

[Natj123 in reply to Clutter]

I used to take it all the time

I'll start it again! I seem to take loads of pills ha!! Seeing doc Monday!!! X
