Do hypothyroid support supplements work? Absolutely, but only if you use the right ones.

In my opinion, and based on my experience, here are the ones hypothyroid patients should be using:

1. Guggulsterone

Guggulsterone has been shown in animal studies to promote thyroid hormone creation and iodine uptake thereby supporting the thyroid gland. It also happens to help with symptoms associated with low thyroid like high cholesterol.

2. T2 (3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine)

As the only thyroid hormone available over the counter, T2 is a must have for low thyroid patients. It performs its own functions while also supporting the action of T3.

3. Rhodiola

Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb that promotes energy and better cognition and is one of my favorite adaptogens for thyroid patients.

4. Calcium D glucarate

Calcium D glucarate promotes better liver health which, in turn, supports T4 to T3 conversion and the elimination of endocrine disrupting chemicals.

5. L-tyrosine

L-tyrosine is needed to create thyroxine (T4 thyroid hormone) and several adrenal hormones. Because of its stimulating action, low doses are preferred.

6. Inositol

This sugar-like compound promotes the action of TSH in the cells and, when combined with selenium, has a powerful impact on thyroid hormone lab tests as well as thyroid antibody levels.
