Why Every Thyroid Patients Needs Vitamin A, D, and K2


Listen Later

These 3 simple vitamins can help support your thyroid in more ways than one and, based on data from NHANES, most people aren’t getting enough of them from their diet.
Here’s how they work and why they are helpful:
#1. The Pro-Thyroid Benefits of Vitamin A
Vitamin A helps with the production of thyroid hormones, protects your thyroid gland from autoimmune disease, prevents thyroid gland enlargement, and protects against thyroid resistance.
Up to 45% of the US population doesn’t meet their vitamin A intake requirements from food so supplement may be a good idea.
#2. The Pro-Thyroid Benefits of Vitamin D3
One study showed that hypothyroid patients taking vitamin D saw improvements in TSH levels and calcium regulation.
Vitamin D also protects against thyroid cancer and both types of autoimmune thyroid disease (Graves’ and Hashimoto’s).
#3. The Thyroid-Symptom Related Benefits of Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 can help prevent two of the biggest consequences of low thyroid function: osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
