Thyroxite supplement

[Inaquandary]

Has anyone tried Thyroxite? About £30 for 6 weeks supply. Don't want to waste my money if it doesn't work!

Lindsay - it contains 225mcg iodine per serving. You have high Antibodies so therefore Hashimoto's and iodine can make Hashi's worse. None of us should take iodine unless tested and found to be deficient.

Have you had your vitamins and minerals tested yet as suggested in your previous post.

Not yet. Getting biopsy results tomorrow and seeing private endo on Friday. Thanks for info... Very new to all this!

Don't waste your money. Basically, I would say, avoid all things that purport to 'support' your thyroid. What they normally mean is 'stimulate'. And if your gland is sick for some reason, the last thing you want to do is stimulate it.

They all contain a few B vits - which you should probably be getting, anyway; iodine - which you should avoid unless you're deficient; copper - hypos are usually high in copper, so don't need anymore; etc. This one contains ashwagandha, which isn't for everyone. And, quite apart from any other consideration, if you have a bad reaction to one of the ingredients, you won't know which one it is. Taking a great bunch of stuff in one pill is never a good idea.
