When I hit a brick wall a while back I started taking Neways liquid minerals just a spoon a day and I found that within a week I was back to my normal energetic self. I have always taken a multi vitamin since I was 40 and a iron tablet every 3 days for a while as our family is all low in iron. But about a year ago I started to feel bone tired...not just tired so tired my legs hurt walking around and sitting down didn't make them feel anymore energetic so liquid minerals where recommended and I have never experienced that again.
Since being bordline hypo I have included one kelp tablet every second day. With my multi vitamin and minerals i never take them on a weekend. Don't  ask me why but I think I felt like it would stop my getting too much of any one thing??? if that makes sense.

i just brought a supermarket brand as it was the only one i could find but i checked that it covered a lot of different things.

hi i read that selenium is supposed to help in converting t4 to t3 and i only take levothyroxine so thought id give it go i dont get sore throat but sometimes just after taking i get like a heartburn that lasts a couple of minutes but i think i just need to take with more water. i too had a tt how long ago was yours maybe sore throat is connected to that.

Can I ask the brand of the Mineral pill? Can the pharmacist recommend??

Hello, and glad you feel good.  Just wondering what the selenium is used for?  If it is making you feel better than maybe it could work for me.  I started taking a good multi and magnesium and ever since I have a sore throat!!!  That vitamins were to help cut back on infections.  I haven't had a sore throat in years and years!!!

hi everyone thanks for your messages
i have been taking 100ug of selenium per day and a total multi vitamin and mineral pill which has selenium zinc and iodine in as i read that combination has the best effect. i just got them from the supermarket i have been on them 2 weeks and was considering upping the selenium to two pill per days as i think your supposed to adjust slowly  Peggy how much have you been taking?
i must admit i wasnt really expecting to feel any better but somehow i do. all i need to do know is lose all the extra weight and life would be good  (oh how i wish) any advice on that one anybody?

[Liz94]

Hope it sticks around for you.
