Supplements for losing toe nails?

I’m sure I’ve read that being Hashimotos can cause issues with nail plates / beds. Ever now and again I lose toe nails and have recently been hyper and lost another nail again. I also have skin growing over the sides of my nails which is annoying.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend anything that might help?

I have lost nails in the past and the only thing that helped was when my levels were right for me. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I’ve gone hyper atm so think it must just be the imbalance of swinging each way and not being stable

Have you checked your ferritin and B12 levels. I lost my toe nails when under medicated. I was also B12 and ferritin deficient.

I also lost a toe nail when my

T3 was low, since I have been on a small amount of T3 in addition to T4 it has been fine.
