Thyroid supplements

[paddel]

I know that alot of us have a thyroid condition because of the bacterial diseases proliferating in our bodies. Here is some helpful information that I got off the thyroid yahoogroups website.

These are supplements that treat the thyroid. I would say that selenium is an important one to take. Folic acid is an important one too. Since b12 is not synthesized in tablet form and folic acid taken up by the body.
