Hi I have noticed levels other than thyroid need checking and I do currently take vitamin D is my dose of 800iu correct or do I need more? Thank you

AmandaC85 You need more.

For Vit D the recommended level is 100-150nmol/L. You need to buy some D3 softgels like these bodykind.com/product/2463-b... and take 10,000iu daily for 4 weeks then reduce to 5000iu daily. Retest in May. When you've reached the recommended level reduce to 5000iu alternate days as a maintenance dose.

When taking Vit D there are important co-factors

D3 aids the absorption of calcium from food and K2-MK7 directs it to bones and teeth rather than arteries and soft tissues. D3 and K2 are fat soluble so should be taken with the fattiest meal of the day, D3 four hours away from thyroid meds.

Magnesium comes in different forms, check here to see which would suit you best and as it's calming it's best taken in the evening

If you put up a new post for each fragment of your test results, people will not see how they might interrelate.

Should I put up a new post with all the results in them?

In my view, it would make it much easier for people to grasp if you do.

Separating may work well on some forums - but not here.
