Can a person with hypothyroidism or after thyroid removal supplement iodine?

Hello, if you have hypothyroidism after its complete removal, can you take iodine-containing vitamins? What vitamins are recommended for people without tarzzycy and thus from hypothyroid?

People with hypothyroidism or after its removal should take thyroid hormones in tablets prescribed by a doctor, e.g. Euthyrox, Letrox: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/leki-na-niedoczynnosc-tarczycy In such a situation, iodine supplementation may be insufficient - dietary supplements do not provide a healing effect. In the event that you are being treated for hypothyroidism, the use of iodine supplements should be consulted with your attending physician. In pharmacies without a prescription, supplements containing iodine of natural origin from algae are available, e.g.: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/39941/walmark-kelp-tabletki/apteki On the page above, you can compare the prices of the preparation in online pharmacies and place an order with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy.

Osoby cierpiące na niedoczynność tarczycy lub po usunięciu tarczycy powinny przyjmować hormony tarczycy w tabletkach (np. Euthyrox, Letrox - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/leki-na-niedoczynnosc-tarczycy), sama suplementacja jodem może nie być wystarczająca. Nie ma natomiast przeciwwskazań do przyjmowania suplementów z jodem, jednak jest to jedynie wsparcie codziennej diety - takie działanie nie daje efektu leczniczego.
