How does 5 htp affect someone with hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to PCP: 5 htp is a precursor for serotonin. It won't affect your thyroid but it will help alleviate the depression that often accompanies hypothyroidism.Ask your pcp what dose you can take or have CP refer you to a psychiatrist.
