Which supplements please

[Ellishq]

Hi I want to start taking supplements that will support being hypothyroid. Since the Teva induced issues I've been struggling to feel balanced. Please can you tell me which supplements are best? Ideally the best brands as well and the dose size if possible. I'm in the UK. Thanks in advance.

Ellishq It's not possible to suggest any supplements and doses unless we know what the results of testing your vitamins and minerals are. Ideally:

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

and anything else you may have had tested.

Nutrient levels need to be optimal for thyroid hormone to work properly but supplementing some of them when not needed can cause problems as too much can be as bad as too little.

Ah ok. So I will do these privately I think as there's no way my GP will do it! Then I'll post on here. Many thanks.

Are you still taking teva? If you are just ask the chemist for another brand saying that the Teva doesn't suit you.
