Low Thyroid Results but Vits OK

[Jamima]

My latest medichecks test gave the following results:

TSH 1.57 (0.27-4.2) March 21 result: 1.63

FT3 4.3 (3.1-6.8) March result 3.82

FT4 13.2 (12-22) March result 13.3

Vit D 131 (50-20)

B12 164 (25.1-165)

Ferritin 94 (13-150)

Folate 8.4 (>2.9)

I’ve tried various supplements over the past couple of years including returning to HRT which makes me exhausted, DHEA which worked for a short time and then made me gain a lot of water, Metavive which made me more tired and puffy and Adrenavive which did the same. I used all of the supplements initially at half dose and then increased and also individually. I’m fairly convinced that I have central hypo but my nhs endo won’t entertain my last cortisol results. I’m considering using nutri adrenal extra and would be grateful for feedback from anyone who has used this with good results.

Nutri Adrenal Extra was discontinued earlier this year. From their website:

nutriadvanced.co.uk/product...

Nutri Adrenal Extra 60 & 120 Capsules - February 2021

Discontinued. Alternative products would be Adreset, Nutri Adrenal, Siberian Ginseng + Liquorice Tincture, or our MegaMag Energen Plus range.

Hello Jamima :

Yes I used NAX for a good few years and was disappointed to read that they were being discontinued.

I now take Nutri Adrenal capsules and AdrenoMax which is a vitamins and mineral complex with Herbs.

Can't say much as I havent't been on it that long, but trust NutriAdvanced as I know NAX worked so just hope this new option also does the trick.

Many thanks pennyannie. Would you mind telling me what you were treating and how it helped, I don’t mind if you’d rather pm. Have you tried anything else as a comparison?

[pennyannie in reply to Jamima]

I have Graves and been treated with RAI thyroid ablation and there are details on my profile page should you wish to read further.

Thank you.

You do surprise me! Why are you taking that? There are so very many things wrong with it.

* the iron will block absorption of the vitamins, iron should be taken at least two hours away from everything else

* the calcium will bind with the iron - you probably don't need calcium, anyway

* the vit C will stop the body using the B12

* the vit B12 and folate are not the best forms

* zinc and copper should be tested before taking because hypos are usually high in one or the other, and they should be kept balanced

* the selenium is the wrong form

* the quantity of magnesium is too small to be of much use

* zince and magnesium shouldn't be taken together

* it contains soy...

It's just another useless multi-vit. And not cheap, either!

Thank you :

I saw it as an alternative to AdrenalMAX which did help me and couldn't find anything else as an alternative - so thought I'd try this - I do understand and appreciate all that you always write and say, and do take notice but felt at a loss at the time so thought I'd try it :

There are Solaray Adrenal caps which I also looked at but were out of stock.

[greygoose in reply to pennyannie]

What can I say... Personally nothing on this earth would persuade me to buy it. There must be other glandulars you could try. I can't see anything in that multi that is even likely to have any effect on your adrenals.

[pennyannie in reply to greygoose]

Ok then - thank you - I know, I tried Solaray before but then they were out of stock, and it just seemed easier dealing with the devil I thought I knew !!
