Which vitamins can help an overactive thyroid?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There isn't any: As far as i know, there isn't any otc meds/vitamins that can treat/help with overactive thyroid. If you have symptoms such as heat intolerance, eating more yet losing weight, muscle weakness, rapid heart rate, sweating etc...Please see doc because these symptoms suggest significant disease activities. Prolonged hyperactive thyroid can cause long term consequences. Consult doc. Good luck.

Two questions here: Question one: can vitamins fix an overactive thyroid? Answer: no. No studies showing that vitamins can correct an overactive thyroid. Question two: can hyperthyroidism affect vitamin requirements? Answer: yes. Hyperthyroidism causes the liver to metabolize many substances, including vitamins, faster than usual. So even for someone with a balanced diet, a multivitamin & vit d is a good idea.
