Andypandy30,

100mcg appears to be the right dose as TSH is low and FT4 high in range.

Serum iron is high. If the multivit contains iron you should stop taking it. Has your GP said anything?

All the other results are within range.

Andypandy30,

Folate is in range. Why do you want to supplement? It won't hurt to supplement with B Complex vitamin which will have a little folate in it.

What is your vitD result?

Andypandy30,

Order a vitD test from City Assays to see whether you need to supplement and, if you do, how much.
