Basically is it a safe, helpful thing for Hypo. I eat extremely healthy and take vitamins reguarly, i just want to know what would help heal my thyroid and help with weight gain and energy! Thank you so much! Jenna
Nature-Throid is desiccated (dried) thyroid and a combination of hormones that are normally produced by the thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism.
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid and is a building block of thyroid hormones. Tyrosine supplementation led to unwanted weight gain and feeling of tiredness.
Also, if this supplement is taken along with thyroid hormone pills, the body may produce an increased quantity of the hormones and cause unwanted side effects.
Hence, it is advisable to take the supplementation only if it is necessary after consulting with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
