Thiroid and Iodine

[dwsmith]

Can anybody tell me if they have any experience of using Thiroid from a well known online shopping web site? It looks so cheap and has great reviews, Could it be worth a try?

Also have seen a thyroid support supplement containing Iodine, I can't remember if Iodine is a no no for Hyothyroidism, should this be avoided? Many Thanks in advance x

I have taken Thiroyd (although T3 only seems to suit me better at the moment), bit not from a well-known shopping site - from Thailand directly. Edit is much cheaper than Armour or Erfa etc, but seems to work fine.

It is not recommended to take iodine suppléments when you are hypo - especially Hashi's - without first getting a test to see if you are deficient. Excess iodine can cause lots of problems.

Thankyou greygoose, is the test generally available at the GPs or is it a private test? xx

[greygoose in reply to dwsmith]

I think it has to be a private test.
