The thyroid gland needs not only iodine for normal functioning, but also cofactors - that is, vitamins and trace elements, without which the hormones T3 and T4 cannot be formed or work properly. ✅ The main cofactors for the thyroid gland: Selenium (Se) Necessary for the conversion of T4 → active T3. Protects gland cells from oxidative stress. Recommended for autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto). 💊 Dose: 100–200 mcg/day. Zinc (Zn) Participates in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Supports immunity and skin in hypothyroidism. 💊 Dose: 15–30 mg/day. Iodine (I) The main building material for T3 and T4. It is important not to exceed the dose, especially in autoimmune processes. 💊 Dose: 100–200 mcg/day (depending on need). Iron (Fe) Without it, the enzyme thyroperoxidase (TPO) cannot work. Iron deficiency → inhibits the production of thyroid hormones. 💊 Dose: individually, after ferritin analysis (optimum 60–100 ng/ml). Magnesium (Mg) Necessary for the activation of enzymes in the thyroid gland. Helps with fatigue, irritability, spasms. 💊 Dose: 200–400 mg/day (better — glycinate or citrate). Vitamin D3 Supports immune balance, especially in autoimmune processes. Optimal blood level: 50–80 ng/ml. B vitamins (especially B2, B3, B6, B12) Help in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Support the nervous system and energy. Vitamin A (retinol) Necessary for the conversion of T4 → T3. Especially important for dry skin, hair loss and poor vision. ⚠️ Important: Excess iodine without selenium can worsen the condition of Hashimoto's. It is best to take it comprehensively, in the form of a thyroid support program (for example: iodine + selenium + zinc + magnesium + D3 + B-complex). It is always good to do tests before starting: TSH, fT4, fT3, AT-TPO, ferritin, vitamin D. Quality, size and ingredients are at the height
