Sounds like: supplements. Is your doctors suspecting thyroid condition? Or something else? I'm sure s/he knows what you need, and you should ask her/him what they are recommending, as biotin is usually for hair, nails, skin & folic acid for methylation issues.Dark circles can be also mild food allergies that are subclinical, and show up in this way. Although not particularly harmful, make sure theyre helpful.

This won't hurt: Dark circles under your eyes are called infra orbital edema and can be a sign if sleep deprivation, nose/sinus allergies, and several other things. To treat them correctly you need to find out the cause.
