Does anyone have a supplement or regime they swear helps them with any adverse symptoms of hypothyroidism... please share

Pixipot Only supplement for the things that you are deficient in. I supplemented with a multi-vitamin for older women for years. I didn't need some of the ingredients and I overdosed on iodine as a result and my thyroid reacted badly.

Folks may swear by adaptogens such rhodiola and ashwagandha but we don’t have clear evidence yet that adaptogens actually improve well-being. These adaptogens can raise or lower cortisol but you don't know which they will do and whether or not you need cortisol tinkered with. All in all they are a risk.

I just checked these 2 vitamins & it says they aren't suitable to take with thyroid medication

If you are speaking of the adaptogens some sites recommend them. It depends where you look.
