Can I Take Nutralite Products With Ongoing Thyroid Problems ?
Hi doctor. I do have thyroid problems, due to which I am always concerned about controlling my weight. I do regularly go to walks to keep my Immune system fit and fine. One of my friends has suggested me NUTRALITE product. I have geen given two boxes of Nutralite, one is for fiber and the other one is for Protein . Do you suggest me to take any of these ? Would having these might create problem for me due to my ongoing thyroid problems ?

Hello,
I need to know your thyroid diagnosis to understand better your actual situation. About Nutralite supplements, I want to say that these products may be beneficial but you don't need them if you have a healthy and well-balanced diet.
1. If you were my patient, I will suggest you a healthy whole food eating plan and not to take supplements. Whole foods offer some benefits over dietary supplements. Whole foods are complex, containing a variety of the micronutrients your body needs -- not just one like supplements.
2. Nutralite protein contains protein from soy and this can be a problem for your ongoing thyroid disease. Soy is a goitrogen, a food that promotes an enlarged thyroid known as a goiter. In some patients, soy products can trigger or exacerbate thyroid disease. So, be careful!
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Elona Xhardo
