Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an auto-immune condition of the thyroid gland. If you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, please consult your health practitioner before using Thyodine. We have had some reports from customers with a mild case of this condition who improved when using Thyodine. However, because Thyodine can stimulate the thyroid gland, it is possible that it could aggravate Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

Selenium is essential for the conversion of T4 (the inactive form of thyroid hormone) to T3 (the active form), while iodine and L-Tyrosine are required in order for the body to product thyroid hormone. Thyodine contains plenty of selenium and iodine, but supplementation with additional L-Tyrosine often produces better results for most people. L-Tyrosine can be found on our Thyroid Products page. Some researchers believe that unrefined coconut oil is supportive to thyroid function. See similar questions...

In general, no--unless you happen to be allergic to something in the product. This is rare but does happen. Thyodine has been on the market for over 10 years, and overall has proven very safe. If you use too much Thyodine, it is possible that the thyroid gland could become over-stimulated, causing increased pulse rate or feelings of being "hyper" or jittery. If this occurs, back off on your dosage or stop for a few days. See similar questions...

Thyodine is simply a synergistic nutritional support for the thyroid gland. It does not create a dependency, so you can stop taking it any time you want to. Some people find that, after several months of use, they can go onto a maintenance program of using 1 tablet of organic iodine plus 200 mcg of selenium per day for an average size person. Others can use 1 tablet of Thyodine every day or every other day. Experiment and see what works best for you. Return to Top of Page See similar questions...

These could include certain cardiac drugs, or even herbal stimulants along with too much coffee or other sources of caffeine. See similar questions...
