August 2003 -- For those of you who are reading this, and feel you only have
one minute to spare, here's the short version: be sure to take a
strong multivitamin with minerals along with a couple of grams
of Vitamin C each day. This has to be high-quality, such as can
be purchased from reputable health food stores, as opposed to
some of the larger national drug store brands in the same
category as Centrum or Centrum Silver. Most
nationally-advertised multiple vitamins sold in drugstores do
not have the potency nor the bioavailability that thyroid
sufferers need.For those who have the time to read on, there are other nutrients to explore:
- Iodine
- Selenium
- Zinc
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Antioxidants
- Essential Fats
- Amino Acids
