The role of vitamin B -12 in Thyroid health

To encourage both to be at their best, special attention need to be paid to thyroid gland health and vitamin B-12 intake. A sluggish thyroid, or hypothyroidism may cause you to be deficient in vitamin B-12, and the resulting vitamin B-12 deficiency can further exacerbate the slow thyroid or negatively affect energy. By Global Healing Center. Symptoms of B12 deficiency that may parallel those symptoms of impaired thyroid include fatigue and weakness. In addition, B12 deficiency can cause anemia, constipation, loss of appetite. And if uncontrolled or severe, lack of B12 may cause neurological symptoms such as confusion or numbness and tingling in hands and feet. By Vita Sciences The reason I posted this are you being diagnose by your doctor properly B-12 deficiency and hypothyroidism have similar symptoms get both checked and iodine deficiency before you take medication.

OK thanks but I just want to make sure everyone knows about it again because some people on this forum are still not convinced that they are connected and say it's not necessary to take a B-12 supplement when you're B-12 deficient and we should be getting it from food!
