5 DAILY Supplements For Better Thyroid Health

Taking the right supplements has the potential to dramatically improve your thyroid and either help it work better or prevent future problems from occurring.

Whether you're trying to optimize your thyroid function because you have an existing problem like hypothyroidism or because you just want to prevent a future thyroid problem from occurring, these are, in my opinion, the 5 best supplements to take for your thyroid EVERY day:

1. A daily multivitamin. A multivitamin because your thyroid is incredibly active and chews through a lot of nutrients. The most important include zinc, selenium, vitamin A, iodine, and vitamin B12. A deficiency in any of these may impair thyroid function.
2. Protein powder. Protein powder makes the list because it's one of my all-around favorite supplements for one reason: it helps you stay on track with your diet. In addition, there's also a connection between your muscle mass and thyroid function.
3. Omega 3 fatty acids. Fatty acids help to lower inflammation which helps ensure you can make more of the most powerful thyroid hormone T3.
4. Vitamin D3. Low vitamin D is associated with an increased risk of developing hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, AND thyroid cancer. Vitamin D is a no-brainer.
5. A probiotic. A probiotic because that's the easiest way to support your gut and make sure you can both absorb nutrients and thyroid medication (if you take any).

1. High Quality Multivitamin (3 - 4 capsules per serving)
2. Protein Powder (start with 20 - 25g per serving/ can increase in time)
3. Omega 3 Fatty Acids (1-2g/ can go higher [i.e., if treating any depression/ autoimmune issues])

I am hypothyroid and take:
Zinc
Selenium
K2(MK7)
Vit A
D3
Iodine occasionally
Vit C
Magnesium
ALA (omega 3s) cod liver oil too
B12
Ox Bile - to boost gut acid levels to help digest

It works well alongside OMAD and a high fat extremely low carb lifestyle with plenty of protein by way of meat, fish (salmon, sardines, mackarel) poultry and now and again a protein smoothie, I am 71 and in the best state of health since I can remember

[lisalapoint]

He lost me at "plant based protein powder. " For God's sake: eat lots of beef, poultry, pork, fish, and lots of eggs! Zinc and B12 and all the stuff this doctor tells you to supplement are in meat in very good amounts. Yes, take supplements, but eat the right foods. He did not tell you that D3 MUST be taken with K2!!! You can find a good D3 with K2 if you shop online. Eight ounces daily of clean, full fat cottage cheese, like "Daisy, " will help with B12 too. Make sure eat these things every day. If you cut out the grains and crap food, you will be able to fit a whole steak or two burgers with cheese and four eggs in a day. While your gut is adjusting, take digestive enzymes. Amylase, protease, and lipase plus lactase and others come all together in supplements.

Dr Childs, Always enjoy your videos! Half my family are very sick. We are all in our 70's....my siblings and I... Started listening to you and Dr. Berg and a few others a couple of years ago. You all have changed my life/health immensely well, you gave me the info, and I followed through. I am so healthy!! And, I just "feel" good. Also, YOU are a nice looking man. I admire you for NOT dying your hair jet black, as most all men do today. It looks so foolish, and does not go with a mans "aging." You will look very handsome with your salt/pepper and I believe that most men who dye their hair have many self-esteem problems. Thanks for all the life saving information.

I cannot have whey at all as it has gluten. Not having gluten has helped me to reduce my levothyroxin intake. Also intermittent fasting. I have some of the supplements he mentioned.

[missplaced]

I have hyperthyroidism. Will taking a multivitamin with iodine be harmful? Thank you

[wildblue]

Excellent information! Trying to improve immune health and reduce those Hashimotos antibodies. Thank you for lighting the path!!🎉😊

[summersalix]

Why isn't whey recommended? It helps the body produce glutathione which helps w inflammation. Beef protein powder is also good, as there are no oxalate or anti nutrients

[RitaDrootman]

[sunydee]

Why don’t doctors ever address hyperthyroidism? 🥺 we can’t consume iodine . No info is on YouTube at all

[elaynerelles]

I started taking my synthroid 88 at night . After 10 days my hair stared to come out in handfulls.So I went back to taking them in the morning.I'm sure it was because at night it has so much time to absorb.

[EstherBalisalisaDalde-ec]

Dr. Childs thank you for sharing your information. God bless 🙏
