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
