Question: hypothyroidism what vitamins or supplements can be taken to correct this I get cold hands and feet during cold months. or other solutions to correct this.
Brief Answer:
Vitamin D3 can help but needs life long medication with thyroxine hormone..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Hypothyroidism treatment generally requires life long medication of thyroxine hormone i.e. Tab.Eltroxin
Normal TSH value is 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L but it may vary slightly among different laboratories as they use different measurements or test different samples.
Apart from medication,dietary intervention can also be useful.
Reduce or eliminate dietary sugar including refined carbohydrates and increase protein and fat intake in which protein increases transport of thyroid hormone to all your tissues and fat like ghee or olive oil contains high cholesterol which is actually a root for hormonal pathways like thyroxine hormone.
Vitamin D3,iron and omega-3 fatty acids (fish,walnuts) supplements are also useful in the treatment of Hypothyroidism.
As far as he allopathy treatment is concerned,thyroid can be controlled and can not be cured completely thereby individual requires life long medications with thyroxine hormone.
As I said earlier,hypothyroidism generally requires life long medication of thyroxine hormone i.e. Tab.Eltroxin despite having normal T3 and T4 levels.
If you have any doubt then feel free to ask me follow-up question.
Thanks and Regards,
