Selenomethionine supports T4-to-T3 conversion and reduces TPO antibodies. Here is what the clinical evidence shows about dosing and forms.
Selenium, vitamin D, omega-3, and myoinositol have clinical evidence in Hashimoto's. Here is a structured supplement protocol with doses.
L-carnitine acts as a thyroid antagonist. Bugleweed, lemon balm, selenium, and omega-3 offer anti-inflammatory support in hyperthyroid states.
Selenium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and ashwagandha each play a role in thyroid hormone production and conversion. Evidence and limitations explained.
Poor T4-to-T3 conversion causes hypothyroid symptoms even with normal TSH. Selenium, zinc, iron, and stress management are the key levers.
The gut microbiome regulates thyroid hormone conversion, iodine absorption, and autoimmune activity. Probiotics and key nutrients support both systems.
Selenium, iodine, zinc, ashwagandha, and iron each play a distinct role in thyroid function. Here's what the evidence shows.
Selenium is the most important supplement for Hashimoto's—it reduces thyroid antibodies and supports T4-to-T3 conversion. Here's the complete protocol.
Selenium, zinc, iron, and Vitamin D all have direct roles in thyroid hormone production and conversion. Here's what the evidence supports.
