What supplements to take for over overactive Thyroid? Am stressed 🙁

It is not necessarily supplements, although it might be.

The point is to look beyond the diagnosis and consider the cause, which might be something entirely remote to the thyroid gland.

I would start by considering general nutritional status, you know what I mean by that. And don't forget that of all the deficiencies, vitamin D is near universal at this time of year, and can certainly cause endocrine problems. Also exhaustion - when the adrenals are running down, the thyroid sometimes can take over as compensation. Lastly, the blood supply to the brain, including pituitary and hypothalamus, and also to the organs of the neck (thyroid) can be influenced by physical adjustment (osteopathy), normalising any strain to the spine can be very helpful, but you need a practitioner who understands these relationships.

Hi kvdp

Thanks for your advice. Just didnt quite understand what you meant when you talked about supplements - I was wondering if there was any supplements I could take that would help the condition?

Thanks

Hi Angel*Star,

I recently had and underactive Thyroid due to adrenal fatigue (extreme prolonged stress). I decided to look into natural methods and found a fantastic accupuncturist - Tim Sullivan based in North London and healing with my colleague Alan Howell and some counselling.

This combination along with lots of hard work from myself (changing my stress responses, letting go of crap) resolved my issues in 3 months. It was an intense period of self examination and changes but, all my bloods are bang on normal.

Best of luck with your journey.

Cheers, Sue

Hi Angel Star
my deliberately vague answer is because I am not of the view that one treats the thyroid directly. This is just one possible consequence of a body-wide disfunction, there is a context to the problem that is entirely your context, and it is that which we treat, the thyroid then takes care of itself.

So to treat this holistically requires a personal consultation to get to understand the unique aspects of the problem in your case. So one case of hyperthyroidism or adrenal fatigue might be treated in an entirely different way from another. Somebody else with the same set of circumstances would have a problem somewhere else, you see?

Things to consider, however:

You are almost certainly vitamin D deficient - most of us are - and sorting that out might make all the difference. Getting on a sunbed is the most effective way to deal with that at this time of year. If you use tablets, you need further information, because what we need is way above and beyond the standard recommendations and the amounts do need tailoring. See other threads on this, or look up Vitamin D Council.

Vitamin C - we can benefit from way more than we are getting.

B-complex, 1-12, from a good health food shop

Omega 3 oils, krill, cod liver, or flax are all okay. Udo's or Viridian Beauty Oil very good. Best to change oils periodically, don't keep taking the same one.

Multimineral - I use concentrace, plus a pince of sea salt and a pinch of lo-salt (for potassium) in cooking. Might be worth considering zinc, magnezium and iodine - I wonder what the nutritionalists here will say.

Drink lots of water

For vitamin A and E the dangers from supplementation are of getting too much or the wrong kind. Much the best way to get these is eating plenty of raw veg, nuts and seeds.

So really, this is a generic programme, do the above and see how things respond. The aim is for health, as mentioned, the specific organ then has the best chance to take care of itself. And get some rest.

Best of all, get guidance and personal consultation from a practitioner with a good reputation.

Good luck!

Hi Angel Star

I was diagnosed with an over active thyroid in Jan this year and my GP and Consultant wanted me to start taking tablets i.e Beta Blockers for my heart etc. I was horrified and wanted to know WHY my thyroid was upset, not kill it off! So, I did some research and found that Homeopathy was rated highly for treating thyroid problems. I went to see a local Homeopath who was really thorough in her consultation asking me all sorts of questions and then she rang me a few days later and told me of the remedies she thought would be helpful. I continued seeing her and taking the remedies and to my Consultant's amazement my condition has stabalized lol. So, it might be worth investigating that route for you? There is no guarantee it will work but trying it won't do you any harm either and it's all a lot less toxic than the medication everyone was trying to put me on!

Good luck

Love and light

What supplements to take for overactive Thyroid?

Overactive thyroid is resulted due to excess or over production of thyroid hormones. Of course, there are lots of supplements available for overactive thyroid. But one best according to me is Thyromine. There is nothing harm in trying Tyromine. It is 100% organic and natural [url]thyroid supplement[/url] that keep your thyroid hormone stable and reduces problems like fatigue, increased appetite, restlessness, nervousness etc.

Hello,

Just wanted to ask you if you heared about the change that was made to levothyroxine tablets?

Sine February 2011, GSK has stopped making the drug in the world. GSK moved the production of the drug to another company. In that process changes were made to the inactive ingredients of the drug.

It turns out that these changes cause some patients to serious medication side effects and imbalances of thyroid hormones.

Side effects include, among other things, hair loss, obesity, various pains, headache, sleep problems, nervous or irritable feeling, sweating, and more...

Doctors and pharmacists keep silent and say to all those who complainants that all these symptoms is all in their head.

I'd love to hear from you, if you have an idea of ​​more people that have side effects from this drug in the U.K.

Thank you
Nino
