As I said before, vitamins and minerals will not change your hypothyroidism. You need thyroid replacement medications.
Ginseng can be used for a variety of things, but it won't raise your thyroid hormone levels.
Hi, i used A supplement that contain vitamins , amino acids and minerals that contain ginseng . I do not know but i think ginsing is affectted me. . What do you think ginseng is approprated for hypothyrodism
The only thing that's really for hypothyroidism is the levothyroxine that you take every day, and/or a T3 medication if you get a prescription for it. While other vitamins/minerals are good for your overall health, there are none that specifically target the thyroid/Hashimoto's.
thanks a lot mr barb135, i am rally sorry , because you are so Busy and this is the second question at this week , i want to ask you ,what is the most important supplement for hypothyroadism with
Hashi's i read in the internet omega 3 . what do you thing about it and i want to ask you what is the vitamins i should to take for controling my symptoms ,
I don't know the amounts of the vitamins in your daily supplement, so i don't know if it's good for you or not. I probably is, but you have to look at the % of daily requirement.
In your original post your FT3 was 4.59, but it dropped to 3.53, one month later....... yes that means you need the cytomel. Is that what you are asking me?

is it good for me
and i want to ask if my t3 became FT3 : 4.59 pmol(N . : 3.1 - 6.8 pmol /l) still i need to cytomel or no thank you for your help
The brand name of the T3 medicine is Cytomel. The generic version is called liothyronine. In the U.S. you must have a prescription of it.
While I agree that you may need it, from looking at your labs, you should talk to your doctor about taking it, because it's a very strong medication and must be dosed properly
hi, i been having Hashi's , therefore i went to pharmacy to find the T3 medication but i did not find it , can you tell me what is the Commercial name of this medication. or where i can find it or if i can buy it from website because i from away country of us ..
You should wait 0.5 to 1.0 hours after taking medication to eat or drink anything.
Any other medication or supplements should not be taken for 3-4 hours.
You should also wait 3-4 hours after eating before you take your medication.
i will do a test after one month and i will sit my result here and i will need to your help. .. But i have a small question, eaten a medecation before 30 min of eaten food is it enough and how many hours i can eat the medecation after eaten food
i read your questions but before answer you i want to say i am 20 and i have been having hypothyroidism of 5 years ago and i discovered that before 9 months and when i began to take ethrox i was start to eat 50 dose then 75 after that
125 dose . before treatment i was feeling like low concentration and problem in vision and drying in skin and apathy , after eaten the med , i improved after 2 month of eaten 125 does Especially now More of symptoms went out , i know tsh is high but i feel better also i think i will be better in future . THE FIRST TEST was after 1 month of 125 dose and the second was after 2 month
How do you feel now? Do you feel any better than before you started on meds?
Am I reading correctly? The first set of labs is after one month on eltrox, and the second set is before startin eltrox?
How did you feel before starting meds?
FT3 :3.53 pmol(N . : 3.1 - 6.8 pmol /l)
FT4 : 18.15 pmol/i( 12:0 pmol /l - 22.0 pmol /L)
TSH : 6.45 u IU/ml(N.: 0.27 - 4.2 uIu/ml)
Your FT4 looks good, perhaps even a little on the high side. The rule of thumb is 50% of range for FT4, and you're at 61%. However, that rule doesn't apply to everyone. We all have to find where we feel best.
However, your FT3 is still very low. It's at 12% of range, and the rule for FT3 is upper half (50%+) to upper third (67%+). FT3 should be higher in its range than FT4 is in its. Otherwise, slow conversion of T4 to T3 might be indicated.
Many of us found that once our FT4 reached a stable level, it took FT3 a while to "catch up". FT3 might keep rising now that your FT4 is good. However, I do find it a bit worrisome that both your FT3 and FT4 actually went down quite a bit from the previous labs.
Do you know if you have Hashi's?
So, what to do from here is a matter of how you feel. If you still have lingering hypo symptoms, you might try to add some T3 to your meds, although if you are not in the U.S., finding a doctor to prescribe T3 can be a challenge. If you're feeling quite good, you might just leave your eltrox where it is and see what happens to FT3 over the next few months.
