Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Nature Thyroid is also a thyroid hormone supplement like Levothyroxine. Nature Thyroid is unlikely to cause nose bleeds. Causes of nose bleed like hypertension, dry nose, bleeding disorders, medications like Aspirin should be looked into. While having active bleeding pinch your nostrils with towel and ice and lean forward. Recurrent episodes of nosebleeds require cauterization.
