Good vitamins and supplements

Hi,

I have created a good supply of embryos on vitamins and supplements despite DOR and advanced age (43-44).

I was planning to continue most of these for my transfers and bought some additional supplements that are good for transfers (such as Arginine, Carnitine, etc). Unfortunately I also have severe hypothyroidism (TSH > 100). I am treated with very high dose levothyroxine and my doctor said I cannot take any vitamins or supplements because my liver needs to focus on the levothyroxine : (.

The vitamins are all the best brands (vitamins only made using natural ingredients, etc). As I don't want to throw my stock away, I wanted to see if anyone is interested in buying these at a large discount to purchase price. I can ship UK wide or deliver to London.

Hi! I have hypothyroidism too and was told by my endocrinology consultant to avoid all vitamins that have iodine. It makes it really hard to find a prenatal or pregnancy vitamins. What I did prenatally was take separately Vitamins C, D (spray), Zinc, folic acid, as well as oral and vaginal probiotics. Selenium is supposed to be very good for hypothyroidism but just doesn't agree with me. Very best of luck!

I am treated by UCLH in London and they do not recommend to avoid iodine. The only days you have to avoid iodine is just before a TSH test because it interacts with the test.

In general, the body needs iodine (more when pregnant) so it's fine to take iodine. You just have to stop for 3 days before a TSH test. In any case, salt contains iodine, so avoiding iodine would be very difficult.

I am just trying to help by sharing my experience. It might be worth getting a second opinion on that point. I am treated by a professor endocrinologist in a leading hospital and he is adamant that his patients with hypothiroidism shouldn't take any iodine in addition to the normal intake from food, which should be more than sufficient for the body. In the end of the day - your body, your choice :)
