Well, I can't see where it says not to use if you're hypo, but if that's what it says, then don't use it. They are the manufacturers, they should know better than people on a forum. :)

in reply to greygoose

It said consult a doctor if u have underactive thyroid before takin it

Then you should consult your doctor.

Why do you want to use it, anyway? It's a multi-vitamin/mineral. They're not the best things to take.

Amy, I cannot tell you any more than is written on that site. I am not a chemist. So, if it says ask your doctor, then you must ask your doctor, or find another type of tablet. :)

Well, I'm sorry, but I really don't know what is available in India.

Well, I can't see anything there that would be bad for a hypo, but there's nothing that would be much good, either. I think it's just another rubbish multi-vit. Mainly B vits with a few extras. Why not just take a B complex, with zinc separately if you want zinc?

100 micrograms of selenium could be good if the person taking it is low in selenium.

Fourts B Tablet works by decreasing the amount of mucous secretion; maintaining the hepatic concentrations of glutathione in the body; increasing absorption of calcium and phosphorus required for strong bones; inhibiting the herpes simplex virus growth; stimulating the brain's glutamate receptors; transmitting the chemical signals in the brain; increasing the effects of insulin; enhancing the action of insulin; neutralizing the free radicals and also participates in vital redox reactions of the body; blocking the damage caused by free radicals thus heals wounds; lowering blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels by inhibiting the synthesis of very low density lipoproteins; modifying the electrical activity thus relaxing and slowing overactive heart muscles; reducing prostaglandin thus helping blood thinning and prevents clotting; relaxing the nerve signals to the brain; acting on megaloblastic bone marrow to produce a normoblastic marrow;

The above is a classic of supplements - describe what it can do in terms of positive things that you could find on, say, PubMed, for each of the individual ingredients. (Ignoring things like the doses used in research likely being very different.) Using scientific expressions to make it look as if their tablets, and only their tablets, do all these things in everyone who takes them. Let anyone glance down the text and alight on something that looks like a positive for the reader - who will then be convinced it will work.

in reply to helvella

So r u advising to take it or.not mam ?

helvellaAdministratorThyroid UK in reply to

No - no advice either way in what I posted except that the selenium could be of use if you need it. I was just being critical of the company's claims for it.

Nothing obviously bad about the ingredients. But, for example, the 15 micrograms of cyanocobalamin is inadequate for those who have an absorption issue rather than simply a diet that is a bit low in B12.

(Not a mam!)

in reply to helvella

Sir but bilingual methylcobalamine is not available in India I think

Usually, it is recommended, if B12, is low, to supplement with B12 called methylcobalamin and not cyanocobalamin. Usually, syblingual tablets are best, as B12 is absorbed through the tongue and quite a few of us can have digestive problems. B12 is a pro-hormone as is Vit D and we should have both near the upper part of the range.

We can usually get the other vitamins through a good diet.

in reply to shaws

Ya correct mam but I can't get b12 methylcobalamine sublingual tablets anywhere n India 😞

shaws profile image
shawsAdministrator in reply to

I don't know if you are able to order through Amazon? They have a selection and I don't think your postal authorities would have any difficulties with vitamins being posted to India. If you can also double-check they are sublingual as some are straight-forward tablets to swallow. I have replaced the link. The reason being that if we use the link below

Thyroiduk.org.uk get a small sum which helps them with their expenses, phones, paper etc. Search for B12 sublingual and they will appear.

Amy1311 I have read a couple of your past posts and you are relatively newly diagnosed. Pain etc is due to being hypothyroid and as your dose is increased (every six weeks) until you feel much better and TSH is 1 or lower.

This is a list of clinical symptoms and with hypothyroidism it is our metabolism which is affected so we can have painful muscles/joints as we lack the hormones which run our body's metabolism which includes heart and brain.

It can frighten us, who have never been ill before, to have all of these weird sensations and your dose is still low at 50mcg of levo.

Levothyroxine is an inactive hormone and has to convert to T3. T3 (also known as liothyronine) is the active thyroid hormone so we need sufficient T4 which has to be raised slowly. We cannot take too much initially as we'd feel very ill and our body has to get used to the prescribed hormones.

thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_...

If your B12 is low methylcobalamin sublingual tablets are best as they by-pass our digestion. We can also have stomach issues so sublingual is preferable.

I realise you are desperate but with hypo it has probably begun a few years earlier and so slowly we don't realise we are going to have hypo.

Make sure your diet is good and healthy.

in reply to shaws

Thanks mam so u mean al my symptoms in earlier post was due to hypothyroid only ???

shawsAdministrator in reply to

You can tick off the symptoms you have and as I am not medically qualified I cannot answer but symptoms we do have are alleviated when we have an optimimum of thyroid hormones and this can take some month but I hope it is quick for you.
