I have been taking 25 and 50 levo alternate days since November, I will be starting back tomorrow on my 50 every day until the next bloods.

I had a B12 injection middle of December, have been taking Hairgain supplements, stopped 1 week before bloods as they contain biotin.

Issues: goitre, dry skin, temple hairloss, brain fog and bloating.

What time of day did you have this test? 9am is best time for highest TSH.

Free T4 (fT4) 15.5 pmol/L (12 - 22) 35.0%

Free T3 (fT3) 3.83 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 19.7%

Your free numbers are on the low side. Would push for a 12.5mcg or 25mcg dose increase.

Folate is low. Recommend a good active or methyl B complex such as this one. Also cofactor for B12. amazon.co.uk/Yipmai-Liposom...

Ferritin could be improved a little further to 90-100 with eating chicken livers or pate.

Thanks very much for your replyTest done 9:15, this is the earliest time I can ever have it done by venous draw.

I eat liver at least once a week, have pate nearly every day.

The hairgain supplements I take have Vit Bs already?

[Jaydee1507 Administrator in reply to Albaangel]

Are they the active/methyl B vitamins or cheap cyano ones with folic acid?

You could perhaps add a separate methylfolate supplement of 400mcgs.

I take 2 per day

Hairgain ingredients

Pantothenic acid and niacin would be found in a B complex but otherwise theres no B12 or folate in that. Recommend the one I linked above.

Thanks Jaydee, I will order and try your recommendation.
