Thyroid

The thyroid controls your basal metabolism, your temperature and a large share of your energy. It absolutely needs three nutrients for this: iodine as the building block of its hormones, selenium for converting T4 into active T3 and for protecting the tissue, and iron for hormone production. Iodine contributes to normal thyroid function, as does selenium.

Here you will find iodine, selenium and combinations as well as complexes containing further cofactors such as zinc and tyrosine. Caution with Hashimoto's: iodine only based on lab values and in consultation. Selenium, on the other hand, is often the first building block for Hashimoto's.
