What supplements are safe for someone with no thyroid?
Which one of your books would give me advice on what supplements are safe for someone with no thyroid gland and has to be on synthroid everyday?
Answer
No supplements come to mind that would pose a problem , except that iron and calcium (and perhaps a few other minerals) can block the absorption of thyroid hormone and are best taken 2-6 hours away from the thyroid.
