I currently take medication for low thyroid, but would like to try a natural supplement. Although I take several products from Andrew Lessman's line, I didn't see any that were specifically for thyroid function.
As with anything, there are a million different products. Do any of them really work? Hard to tell. I've learned that kelp and iodine are key -- neither of which are in my diet.
If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

I've never heard of a natural supplement. I read a book about hypothyroidism a while back--don't remember the name of it or the author--and I don't believe she mentioned supplements. I take levoxyl. My doctor told me that if I ever stopped taking it my thyroid would be way out of whack very quickly.

I think you should talk to your Doctor first.

Ask your pharmacist for a recommendation! They are an undervalued resource.

Please don't take anything powerful enough to alter your thyroid function without talking to your doctor first. Will the supplement interact with the medicines you are taking? Will it multiply or diminish the thyroid medicine's effect?

Go back to your MD.

I agree with those who say don't do anything without talking to your doctor. Your thyroid affects every function of your body. Don't play around with it.

Your concerns are valid, you would be best served by a MD who is board certified by the ABIHM (American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine)
