Hypothyroidism and fulvic acid supplements

[lady_eve]

Has anyone with an underactive thyroid had any experience of dietary supplements containing fulvic acid? I just noticed this at a website I visit: "Ioniplex® [is] a fulvic ionic mineral that can contain up to 65 essential macro and trace minerals. This combination of fulvic acid and minerals in an ionic form, makes it a powerful ingredient with long reaching beneficial effects. Fulvic acid is a compound that is essential to the well-being of cellular life. It is highly bioavailable with the ability to penetrate cell membranes so that all the nutrients can enter the cells within our bodies. Some of the benefits of fulvic acid include:

- Helps nourish the scalp follicles to improve hair appearance and lustre

- Helps strengthen, protect and nourish nails

- Is known to stimulate collagen for healthier skin

- Protects against cellular damage, a major cause of ageing of the body and its glands including skin

- Provides nutrients to each cell for energy production

- Enhances nutrient absorption

- As a powerful antioxidant, fulvic acid helps neutralise free radicals

- Scavenges heavy metals and other toxins to remove these from the body. "

Sounds to be good to be true (which of course means it usually is) but I'd be interested to hear of any patient experience, or links to scientific papers.

Thank you.

It does have benefits but can adversely effect the thyroid.
