Myo-inositol b complex with selenium

[Flecmac]

I’ve read that these supplements are very good for Hashimoto’s. Cytoplan have Super B Extra. I struggle swallowing tablets and wonder how big they are and/or if there’s another option. Has anyone had any success taking these supplements for Hashimoto’s?

Cytoplan have Super B Extra.

Are you considering that supplement? If you are then I would reconsider. It's a multivitamin and contains 200mcg iodine which we shouldn't consider taking unless first tested then only supplement if found to be deficient.

Oh didn’t realise iodine was in that one. Thanks

Igennus Super B is good quality and cheap vitamin B complex. Also pretty small tablets Contains folate. Full dose is two tablets per day. Many/most people may only need one tablet per day. Certainly only start on one per day (or even half tablet per day for first couple of weeks)

Or Thorne Basic B or jarrow B-right are other options that contain folate, but both are large capsules. Though you can open capsules and tip powder out.

If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results

Recommend getting full thyroid and vitamin testing 8-12 weeks after any significant change in circumstances (like giving up gluten)

Come back with new post of your own once you get full thyroid and vitamin results

I take the Solgar Inositol and Now Selenium. The Selenium caps are small and easy to swallow. The Inositol powder tastes quite nice, so I either open up the caps or take with warm water and chew them until the capsule disolves.
