My daughter is showing symptoms of hypothytoidism. I am not happy

about putting her on thyroxine. However I have been reading about

other supplements. One that has been mentioned is L-tyrosine which is

supposed to be a precursor to thyroxine.

 

Is L-tyrosine safe?

Is selenium as a supplement safe?

 

Perhaps list members can help me. Thank you.

 

regards

I wouldn't trust any of those supplements, since they do not contain the t4. The selenium is a good choice because it helps convert t4 to t3 . I have hypothyroidism.Begum Ibrahim <begumibrahim wrote:

Correct me if I am wrong guys.

Selenium is bio-accumulative. So, it can reach toxic

level accumulating in the body. At lower level we need

it.

L-Tyrosine is safe. Only my wife gets itching from it.

The other way is cheese or meat or eggs.

Exercise also raises the thyroid function.

One must do all these things.

DON " T put her on thyroxine!!!! Get her on natural thyorid hormones if she needs it.

 

The folks and ( FILES section) at NaturalThyroidHormones

can help you with all of this.....much better than most endocrinologists every can.....or will.

Toxic selenium accumulation is rare; at a daily dose of 3200 mcg for

a year, the only toxic effect was some curling of the fingernails.

 

Selenium depletes arsenic; to see some of the areas that are known to

contain arsenic, see the map at http://codebluewater.com/?key=welcome

and please note the white areas on th map had insufficient data as

opposed to no arsenic.

 

Arsenic is associated with increased disease and mitochondrial

disorders including diabetes and cancer, so a little extra selenium

to offset that toxin is more likely to be good for you.
