HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR THYROID FUNCTION #thyroidhealth

Supporting thyroid function—especially in the context of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s—requires more than simply checking your TSH levels. While medication may play a role, the underlying physiology involves nutrient cofactors, inflammation regulation, mitochondrial health, and immune modulation. This is where targeted nutraceutical and herbal support can complement your broader thyroid care.

Here’s a science-informed breakdown of key supplements and herbal compounds to consider when exploring integrative thyroid support:

L-Tyrosine is the amino acid backbone for thyroid hormone production. It provides the raw material your thyroid needs to make T4 and T3.

Magnesium Bisglycinate supports energy metabolism and plays a role in thyroid hormone activation, particularly the conversion of T4 to the more active T3.

Vitamin D3 has well-documented immunomodulatory roles and is frequently deficient in individuals with autoimmune thyroid disorders.

Iron is essential for the enzyme thyroid peroxidase, which facilitates hormone synthesis. Low ferritin levels under 60 ng/mL can impair energy and metabolism.

Vitamin B12 especially in methyl or hydroxo forms, supports methylation pathways, neurological function, and helps alleviate fatigue and brain fog.

Inositol—especially myo-inositol—has been shown in combination with selenium to reduce TSH and thyroid antibody levels, and support ovarian and mood health.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb shown to support the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, modulate cortisol, and enhance T3 levels in some studies.

Reishi, e.g. Ganoderma lucidum, supports immune balance and has anti-inflammatory properties that may reduce immune overactivity in Hashimoto’s.

Rhodiola is another adaptogen that helps buffer stress, improve mental stamina, and may support adrenal-thyroid synergy.

Bacopa enhances cognitive function, memory, and attention—key concerns for individuals experiencing thyroid-related brain fog.

Schisandra supports liver detoxification pathways, which may assist in hormone clearance and improve resilience under stress.

Curcumin, particularly in bioavailable forms, reduces NF-kB and cytokine activity, offering broad anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Quercetin is a flavonoid with antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory actions, which may benefit autoimmune thyroid conditions.

CoQ10, especially in LipiSperse or Ubiquinol forms, supports mitochondrial energy production—critical for fatigue management and cellular health.

While these supplements can be helpful, individual needs vary widely. Functional testing and personalised guidance are essential, particularly when working with complex thyroid presentations or autoimmunity.

This is not medical advice. Always speak with a qualified health practitioner before starting any new supplement, especially if you have a thyroid condition or take medication.
