I have hypothyroidism and want to get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Should I do it?
Asked by Female, 39 · 3 months ago
Patients with hypothyroidism are at an increased risk of certain nutrient deficiencies, particularly vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, and selenium, which can contribute to fatigue, weakness, and impaired thyroid function. It is advisable to discuss targeted blood tests with your healthcare provider based on your symptoms, dietary habits, and current thyroid therapy. Identifying and addressing any deficiencies through diet or supplementation under medical supervision can optimise energy levels, support thyroid health, and improve overall well-being
