Hi

I see on here a lot of people take vitamins

And they get certain bloods done

Vit d B12 ferritin ect

Even if we still have our thyroid gland, many of us find we have deficiencies in vitamins too. Vitamin/mineral levels have to be optimal as they are also very important for our overall health and they have an important job to do within our bodies.

Is it because the thyroid is damaged ect that people have deficiencies

Does the thyroid play a big part in our body’s vitamin storage?
