Tsh test after 6months vitamins

[Tdoutsoy]

Hello.. I diagnostic with subclinical hypothyroidism before 3 years. My tsh was 6.70 the first year and 5.40 the next years,negative antibodies, some muscles and joint symptoms. My doctor give me Levo., but I try before take drags that, supplements. So after 1 year who I take take magnesium citrate 200mg, selenium 1000mg,zink piconilate 22mg,kelp, vitamins b, vitamine D3 2000iu(my blood level is 46)"",and now after 4 months my tsh go to 3.30. Iam very happy for that, I don't change nutrition or somethink else. I don't know if supplements do it or not... Of course I cut all supplements 14days before the blood test.

Were all the blood draws done under the same circumstances: early morning and fasting?

selenium 1000mg,

That is a very high dose of selenium, is it a typing error? Selenium comes in micrograms (mcg or ug) not milligrams (mg) and it's not recommended to take more than 200mcg unless you have tested and your practioner suggests taking a higher dose.

vitamine D3 2000iu(my blood level is 46)

Did you test before supplementing?

What is the unit of measurement - nmol/L or ng/L

kelp,

Not a good idea to take kelp unless you have tested your iodine level and are deficient, then supplement under the guidance of an experienced practioner. Iodine used to be used to treat hypERthyroidism so taking kelp (which is basically iodine) could cause hypOthyroidism if you are not iodine deficient.

Selenium 100mg. , normal level on lat test d3 is30-100. Kelp it's OK for me because iam very athletic

Selenium 100mg

Again, are you sure that's 100 milligrams (mg) and not micrograms (mcg)

Kelp it's OK for me because iam very athletic

What difference does that make? Have you checked your iodine levels?

[Tdoutsoy in reply to SeasideSusie]

100mg solgar it's OK.,you can take 200/day.. Of course if you are athletic and you lose water/sweat from your body you need more iodine and minerals.You can eat more iodine without any problem. Japanese eat 2000 /day. I read here too about whey protein.... Because someone sales other type of protein... If I was take more iodine my blood test was bad, but all its good. You can read here about sweat and iodine pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/208...

100mg solgar it's OK

Just to clear it up, for the benefit of others, it is 100mcg (micrograms) and not mg (milligrams).

If you were taking 100mg of selenium that would be 100,000mcg, and always suggested here is 200mcg is the upper limit unless guided by a practioner.
