Supplement

Hi, Just had someone tell me my doctor and Endo should of put me on a daily supplement. Please can someone tell me why taking a supplement daily helps people with Hypothyroidism. Cheers

Supplement of what?

[ovey123uk in reply to SeasideSusie]

All they told me in an email, I should be taking high quality supplements to aid my absorption but I'm not sure what this meant and done my post about why supplements. Therefore I'm not sure what supplement.

Thanks

There are a couple of general supplements useful for us Hypos

Vit C - minimum 2000mg daily in divided doses, or you can take to bowel tolerance if you wish. Supports adrenals.

B Complex

Selenium L-selenomethionine

And testing

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

and supplementing any low levels or deficiencies.

We all probably take a variety of supplements but VitD, B12, folate and ferritin all help the Thyroid to work better so I'm thinking it's one of those. Have you any results and ranges of thyroid bloods and anything else you have had tests for recently then I'm sure we can help but I take about 19 supplements daily so you can see by not saying what you are taking doesn't help us to help you

I haven't but will post when I've got them.
