A member asked:
Why nobody is mentioning iodine for the treatment of hypothyroidism, when we all know how it's important for the production of t3 (liothyronine) and t4 hormones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroid: Because iodine does not turn the thyroid gland back on when it has stopped working.
