Inositol

[1880emma]

Hello, just wondering if anyone has had any success with Inositol in reducing Hypo

Symptoms or lowering TSH or antibodies ? Someone has suggested it as a supplement to take , my levels are pretty steady at the moment but I’m still slightly symptomatic. Currently on 50 of Levo a day .

I don't know much about it, other than it's an ingredient in Red Bull; but there have been several studies, including one in particular that showed in combination with selenium it improved a number of thyroid factors in study subjects with Hashimoto's and subclinical hypothyroidism, plus one hyperthyroid patient:

"TSH, TPOAb, and TgAb levels were significantly decreased in patients treated with combined Myo-Ins-Se after 6 months of treatment. In addition, a significant fT3 and fT4 increase, along with an amelioration of their quality of life, was observed. Remarkably, TSH values of the hyperthyroid patient increased from 0.14 μU/ml up to 1.02 μU/ml, showing a complete restoration of TSH values at a normal range. In conclusion, the administration of Myo-Ins-Se is significantly effective in decreasing TSH, TPOAb, and TgAb levels, as well as enhancing thyroid hormones and personal wellbeing, therefore restoring euthyroidism in patients diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis."

I like this article by Dr Westin Childs. It helps with stress too:

thanks for that. very interesting.

[Nico101]

wow. just looked at the research and it looks very promising.

[1880emma in reply to Nico101]

I think so too . I’m keen to try it out

[Nico101 in reply to 1880emma]

i ordered some yesterday and it should arrive today.

i also ordered some ldn for good measure. i was last on ldn in 2017 for crohn's but stopped it when i went carb-free. found out they do sublingual drops with no sugar, so thought i'd get back on it.

thinking back, my (what i now know to be hashi's symptoms) thyroid/adrenal symptoms went away around the time i was on ldn. i just thought i'd gotten over whatever had made me feel so crap.

Hope it works well for you , I’m going to order some today !

[Nico101 in reply to 1880emma]

you too. i like the fact there's so much medical research behind it. i'm being carefully optimistic. i'll follow you and we can compare results if you like.
