Hello.

I just had my blood tests done. These are my results:

TSH: 1,84 0,27-4,03

FT4: 17 11-22

FT3: 4,65 3,1-6,8

Vit D3: 18 30-70

vit B12: 382, 9 197-771

Mg: 2,02 1,6-2,6

Ferithin: 61,7 13-150

Folate: 4,98 4,8-37,3

Colesterol ldl: 59-24 60-100

HDL: 54,5 >=50

TRAB: 0,8 <1,53

ATGB: 18,63 <=115

ATPO: 17 <34

TG: 75,7 3,5-77

I want to mention that in January FT4 was 15. I am curently on Carbimazol, 5 mg/day. I started taking vitamin D3 4000, vitamin K2, Selenium: 25mg: 2/day, Zinc: 100 mg: 2/day. I take Mangosteen: 2/day and I just started eating turmeric in almost every meal due to that fact that I was told I have inflammation in my body. I want to start taking a vitamin B complex bu I do not want to take more pills. What would you recommend?

Is there anything else that I need to add?

Do you have a CRP reading (inflammation marker test)?

I myself have found taking high dose turmeric useful for lowering inflammation, but my recent experiences have led me to believe that taking this long term may effect ferritin levels:

I would recommend a good B complex, such as Thorne Basic B. I personally found that I needed to take a separate Methyl folate supplement alongside this to raise folate sufficiently, until my levels were higher in the range (now I’ve found my levels are good with just a B Complex alternate days).

This recent post has good information/ links concerning B Complex

  SlowDragon also has great links for optimising key thyroid vitamins.
