Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Would you mind sharing the quantities of these supplements which you took. I also have an ICD and would prefer it not be very busy keeping my heart going. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes his beer, which we all know can cause a Vitamin B deficiency. Your advice is good. Hope they can get your kidney probs. straightened out too.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hi, In response to the post on vitamin supplements, I'd add that I've been taking Sparx, recommended by Rich, for several months. I never had great faith in supplements before, but it's had a remarkable effect. I was under huge work pressure in Jan and Feb when I usually relapse badly, but I got through the period with no relapses. Lately I've caught colds, but they are of much shorter duration and with far less impairment. So, thanks, Rich, if you're reading this!!!! Oh, I should add that I've also been taking lecithin three times a day for a longer period of time, and that's helped cognitive functioning enormously.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi, Judy. It's really great to hear that the Sparx and the lecithin have been helping you. Sounds as though they are both good pieces to your puzzle. Now, if you can just find the rest of the pieces!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hello! I am currently taking iron (as I have low stored iron levels) I would also like to start taking other supplements (although all my other test were good) (I am hypoT) I have read that it is good to take bvits, magnesium, selenium - is there anything else I should take? Also, can anyone recommend a brand of vit supplement? (I have heard multivits yeild very little vits once broken down for example) Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 You should ask your GP to test your levels of iron, ferritin, vitamin B12m vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc. It has been found that any of these specific minerals and vitamins being found to be low in the reference range can stop the thyroid hormone from being fully utilised at the cellular level. If any are found to be low, only then should you consider supplementing whatever is low. You should, however, take at least 1000mgs vitamin C daily and 200mcgs Selenium as our soil has been found to be selenium deficient and selenium helps with the conversion of the mainly inactive T4 into the active thyroid hormone T3.
