Is Moringa really safe for Hypothyroidism?

[sudharao]

Hello, I have Hypothyroidism and I read up all the benefits of Moringa for Hypothyroidism. But I am still afraid to take it. Can anyone suggest if it is truly safe?

I have Hypothyroidism from 20 years, and came upon these articles on Moringa powder will help Hypothyroidism. I also read a review of a patient where after taking Moringa powder, her Hypothyroidism became worse, and she had to increase her Thyroid tablets dosage. I also read so many benefits of Moringa powder and I really want to take it, but I am confused, there are so many contradictory articles on it, some give positive results, some negative, especially for Hypothyroidism. I read in an article that one can take daily Moringa Tea, for your Hypothyroidism, is it really safe , and wont there be any adverse effects on your Thyroid gland production? PLEASE let me know replies soon, I am desperate to improve my health. I feel so terrible and lousy daily that I cannot describe it. Thanks very much in advance. Sudha

Thanks.

Theoretically, moringa might further reduce thyroid hormone levels in people with hypothyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism.

just to say I have had hypothyroid for 18 years. And I take moringa powder as a drink once a week. This does has never effected my thyroid behaviour. I take 100mcg of levothyroxine daily.
