Boost TSH: Your TSH levels indicate that your pituitary gland senses your active thyroid hormone level is too low. It is vital to normalize your thyroid hormone level, and you need medical help with this.

Do not need to boost: Tsh. It would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice. There are no supplements to "boost" TSH and boosting TSH will not address the issue as your TSH is higher than normal, at times.
