SUPPLEMENTS FOR OPTIMAL THYROID AND HORMONE HEALTH
Selenium
Selenium is an awesome sauce for your thyroid health! This bad boy strengthens thyroid tissue and boosts your overall immune system and thyroid gland, and stimulates the production of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. This is huge! Selenium also decreases thyroid antibodies and improves your blood flow.
Some foods that are selenium-rich include shitake mushrooms, sunflower seeds, brazil nuts, lamb, chicken, turkey, eggs, salmon, and tuna. 55-200 micrograms are good to start with on dosage but check with your doctor before starting so you can get the proper dosage.
Check out the brand I use below. I take Selenium every day and it works perfectly for me.
Daily Adrenal Health Support
We all need a little push sometimes with our Adrenals and these awesome products keep me in check! They have Rhodiola Root, Holy Basil, Ashwagandha Root, Maca Root, Schizandra Berry, and Vitamin B5, B6 & C. They both help with stress as well, which is skyrocketed to our adrenals, and supports our adrenal system with nourishment, & helps balance our hormones.

B-Complex Vitamins
Who doesn’t like a Huge Boost of Energy? B-Complex Vitamins are fabulous and will benefit you in many ways. B-Complex Vitamins are packed with Antioxidant support, will aid in cellular energy production, and the essential nutrients in B-complex Vitamins help convert food into fuel, allowing us to stay super energized throughout the day. B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and the big one for optimal thyroid health, B12.
These are my favorites below.
Vitamin B Complex- Pure Encapsulations
Spirulina
Spirulina is a sea veggie, a Blue-Green Algae, and very rich in protein and iodine. Spirulina is a very potent source of nutrients and will boost that Thyroid and immune system greatly. It is also high in Chlorophyll, which is super beneficial for your hormones and thyroid as well.
It increases energy, great for eye health, eliminates candida, reduces inflammation, detoxes heavy metals out of your body, lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol and stress naturally, and speeds up weight loss! This miracle stuff even helps eliminate sinus issues. I cannot say enough about this wonderful supplement. Below are two excellent recommendations that I use regularly.
Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Powder
L-Tyrosine
This supplement is a great amino acid that feeds the thyroid healthy tissue, even if it is under attack with a virus. It will continue to produce thyroid hormones. L-tyrosine will help regulate hormones that are produced by the thyroid, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland. The thyroid processes iodine to make hormones, and iodine needs to be mixed with tyrosine to make T3(triiodothyronine) and T4(thyroxine) hormones.
The thyroid is the only organ in the body that can produce iodine. Since it does need tyrosine to make the T3 and ?T4 hormones, it is imperative that your body is making this, or getting it through nutrition. You need this balance in your body and your metabolism with the T3 and T4 hormones. This amino acid helps the thyroid operate at optimal levels. When the various amino acids, hormones, and proteins are out of whack, many diseases can appear, so L-Tyrosine helps eliminate that.
Magnesium
You need magnesium in your life, and especially if you have hormone and thyroid problems, or disease. Many of us are deficient without even knowing it. It can cause an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) in some cases. If left untreated it can accelerate diabetes, weight gain, and liver disease.
Here is why you need it. First of all, it has a calming effect or helps to calm the nerves. Magnesium is very important for our bodies and brain and has an inhibitory neurotransmitter that produces the “happy hormones” which include serotonin.
It regulates your hormones and promotes relaxation for the brain. It also helps increase energy and treats insomnia(some can be taken at night which includes the magnesium powder drink I recommend below in the link). It also aids in digestion (and constipation issues), relieves muscle aches and pains, and can prevent migraine headaches. Heart health is also very important, and it works to maintain proper levels of your blood pressure.
Zinc
Zinc is great for the Thyroid. It reduces inflammation and growth of nodules, cysts, or tumors, and strengthens the thyroid and white blood cells. It gives a major boost to the immune system and stabilizes the adrenals. You need Zinc to have optimal thyroid production, and metabolism as well. You don’t need much zinc, and you can take it in liquid or capsule form. I currently use the capsule, and 30 mg is good for the daily dosage, but please check with your doctor first on all supplements.
Other Natural Supplements that are super beneficial and will balance hormones and the thyroid are all shown below.
Tulsi Holy Basil is a badass adaptogen herb and has amazing benefits which include helping stress, maintaining blood sugar levels, boosting your memory, helping with kidney function, helping reduce uric acid levels, balancing metabolism, balancing energy levels, aid in digestion(great for thyroid), and uplifts your mood. Yes, please!
Vitamin C is a must in your Life! It helps boost your energy, naturally boosts the immune system, aids in preventing depression, improves bone health including the teeth, fights infections, viruses, and colds, improves DNA repair, may reduce the risk of autoimmune disorders, and has capabilities to reduce high blood pressure. Take it Daily!
I personally love chewable Vitamin C, liquid Vitamin C, and tablets.
L-Glutamine is another favorite of mine and helps with digestion, IBS, and gastrointestinal health, helps heal leaky gut and ulcers, improves blood sugar, boosts metabolism and cellular detoxification, cuts sugar and alcohol cravings, and helps with memory, focus, and concentration. This is another MUST on my recommendation list. Take ACV for maximum results for digestion and stomach acid issues. (see below)
LOW STOMACH ACID NATURAL REMEDIES FOR DIGESTION
The brand I use is Pure Encapsulations. It is Fabulous for Low Stomach Acid issues. If you have Hypothyroidism, thyroid, or autoimmune disease, if you are not following a good nutrition plan for yourself, or haven’t completed an Elimination Diet, you could have a leaky gut.
This can cause so many issues, and you could not be digesting your food properly, or at all. Bloating, constipation, acid reflux, and other health issues can arise, AND will not go away until they are addressed. If you are in this place, you are not producing stomach acid properly, or at all.
Adding Betaine HCI Pepsin in the mix is a beautiful thing, and can help this very serious situation by producing and normalizing your stomach acid, and supporting your digestive tract. It is a win-win! Note and Important when taking Betaine HCI with Pepsin: You should take it with a meal containing protein, and do not take this with any over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs(aspirin, ibuprofen, etc).
Contact your doctor for more specific details on where to start on dosage.
Apple Cider Vinegar is the most natural way to boost your Stomach Acid. You can mix it with water and drink it for 10 minutes before you eat a meal. I take it in the morning every day as a shot. My Daily Dose of Awesome! ACV will normalize your stomach acid, aid in digestion, and give you what you need to live a Rockstar life full of Energy and zero sickness or colds!! This is a MUST every single day.
Acetyl L-Carnitine HCI is something I take 3-4 times a day for the overall brain energizing function, and antioxidant health. It also aids in the process of weight loss, chronic fatigue, helps the body convert fat into energy, and helps muscle gain, and heart health.
NAC
NAC(N-Acetyl Cysteine) is a very potent antioxidant that helps oxidative stress, mental health, endurance and muscle fatigue, chronic bronchitis, liver health, and glutathione levels, detoxifying for heavy metals, and helps kidney health. It helps thyroid health and the elimination of toxins in the body from autoimmune diseases.
Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K-2
Be sure to get tested FIRST with Vitamin D-3 with your doctor, or if you have a known deficiency so you know what strength to use. Mine is higher(5,000-10,000 IU), but I will get tested again to see if those numbers can go lower. Vitamin D-3 goes perfectly with Vitamin K-2 below. I take them together every day.
Vitamin K-2 is awesome for your bone, cardiovascular, and nervous system health, and it absorbs perfectly taken with Vitamin D-3. Vitamin K-2 supports proper calcium metabolism.
Ashwagandha should be added to the top lists that I have for Thyroid and overall health. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen herb that helps the body adapt to stress. It is extremely beneficial for your thyroid health and to balance hormones. It is also correlated with increasing white blood cells within the body boosting your immune system and giving you Energy! Yay! I absolutely recommend this wonderful herb.
Chinese Licorice Root has been used for 1000’s of years. It is awesome for everything! A few include helping adrenal fatigue, mood swings, your immune system, leaky gut symptoms, heartburn or indigestion, sore throats, great for hair growth and health, helps brighten your skin, helps PMS/Menopause, and used for overall pain relief. WOW! I love this root.
Turmeric has been used in ancient medicine for over 4000 Years. It has plant-based antioxidants that will help protect cells against oxidative stress, supports cardiovascular health, and supports helps with joint inflammation and pain. This one is a must!!
You need this one every day! Omega-3 fatty acids have so many benefits including support for heart health, brain development, eyes, joint pain, and benefits your overall immune system.
Fermented Probiotics are the best in my opinion, and these below are one of my favs! They are a 3-year fermented food supplement with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. They help maintain healthy digestion, a healthy gut PH, promote nutrient absorption, promote a positive mood, and have brain-gut communication benefits. I love these probiotics and they come highly recommended. No refrigeration required.
