Supplements for Hashimoto's
Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is common in Hashimoto’s thyroid disease and treating this deficiency may slow down the development of hypothyroidism (3). Vitamin D supplementation may also reduce oxidative stress and increase antioxidant activity (4). Ask your doctor to check your vitamin D levels at your yearly visit. Most labs suggest that normal vitamin D levels are 30 ng/mL. However, a “normal level” does not necessarily mean optimal. For our patients, we strive for vitamin D levels around 50 ng/mL for best outcomes. You can find Vitamin D in our Root Shop.

Key Takeaways
Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition in which the body makes antibodies to attack your thyroid gland. Foundational lifestyle changes, like eating an anti-inflammatory diet, getting adequate sleep, and managing stress, are instrumental in treating this condition. However, we also see patient success when using certain supplements for Hashimoto’s like zinc/selenium, antioxidants, vitamin D, and probiotics. For the most effective bang for your buck, we’ve compiled these into our Thyroid Support Supplement and Gut Health Bundle.
