Interesting take on supplementation of antioxidants and Hashi's
“Oxidants are increased and antioxidants decreased in euthyroid [Hashimoto’s thyroiditis],” the researchers wrote. “As a result, the oxidative/antioxidative balance is shifted toward the oxidative side. Moreover, this study reports for the first time on increased serum levels of [advanced glycation end products] in [Hashimoto’s thyroiditis], thus contributing to a better definition of the redox homoeostasis dysregulation in this autoimmune disorder. [Advanced glycation end product] levels could be used as new reliable biomarkers of oxidative stress in [Hashimoto’s thyroiditis]. Finally, the present data suggest that antioxidant supplementation may be helpful in providing protection from [Hashimoto’s thyroiditis].” – by Amber Cox
