Key Supplements
- L-Carnitine 2-4g/day (CRITICAL—blocks thyroid hormone action in peripheral tissues, reduces symptoms WITHOUT affecting thyroid function—proven effective), Selenium 200-400mcg (reduces thyroid antibodies, immune modulation), Vitamin D3 5000-10000 IU (immune regulation, most Graves' patients deficient), Omega-3 4g/day (anti-inflammatory, immune modulation), Magnesium 400-600mg (often depleted in hyperthyroidism, needed for hundreds of reactions), Calcium + Vitamin D (hyperthyroidism causes bone loss—protection), Bugleweed (Lycopus) 500mg 3x/day (traditional herb for hyperthyroidism—mild thyroid suppression), Lemon Balm (Melissa) 500mg 3x/day (blocks TSH receptor, reduces thyroid hormone), Motherwort (for heart symptoms—tachycardia, palpitations), L-Theanine 200mg 2-3x/day (calming, reduces anxiety from hyperthyroidism), Antioxidants (vitamin C, E, glutathione—oxidative stress high in hyperthyroidism), Probiotics 50-100B CFU (gut-immune axis), Curcumin 1g 2x/day (anti-inflammatory, immune modulation), Zinc 30-50mg
Key Lab Markers
- TSH (suppressed—usually <0.1 in Graves'), Free T3 and Free T4 (ELEVATED), Thyroid antibodies: TSH Receptor Antibodies (TRAb) or Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI)—DIAGNOSTIC for Graves' (positive in 90%), TPO and Thyroglobulin antibodies (may be elevated but not diagnostic), Radioactive iodine uptake scan (RAIU—diffusely increased uptake confirms Graves', vs nodular—toxic adenoma, vs thyroiditis—low uptake), Thyroid ultrasound (increased vascularity in Graves'), CBC (watch WBC if on methimazole—can cause agranulocytosis), Comprehensive metabolic panel (liver—affected by hyperthyroidism and medications), Calcium (bone loss from hyperthyroidism), Vitamin D, Selenium, Zinc, Magnesium, Comprehensive stool test (gut-autoimmune connection), Food sensitivity panel (gluten—molecular mimicry), EBV titers (viral trigger), Heavy metals, Bone density scan if prolonged hyperthyroidism (osteoporosis risk)
