Vit C helps support adrenals. Dr P advises 2000iu daily, more if you like to bowel tolerance, in divided doses.

Just about everything else would need to be tested to know if you need to supplement and what dose would be appropriate.

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

Selenium can help conversion of T4 to T3, some people like to test level first.

A B Complex can also be helpful but it would be best to test B12 and Folate first so you'd know what doses within the Complex to look for. Also if B12 is low further testing might be necessary before starting folate/folic acid.

I use this - bit old but in theory it should be updated from time to time if recommendations change
