Thiamine enhances memory in hypothyroidism
We explored the impact of thiamine (Vitamin B1) on memory and learning in rats with hypothyroidism. In a study involving 50 young rats, we treated them with a hypothyroid-inducing agent and varying doses of thiamine over seven weeks.
The results were promising—thiamine improved memory in rats as evidenced by better performance in timed tests. Specifically, higher doses of thiamine led to increased memory retention and reduced oxidative stress. This suggests that thiamine could be a beneficial supplement for addressing memory issues related to hypothyroidism.

We aimed to explore how B vitamins, including pyridoxine, betaine, folic acid, and cyanocobalamin, can correct homocysteine metabolism disrupted by hypothyroidism. By studying experimental rats treated for prolonged periods, we found that hypothyroidism severely reduced the activity of key enzymes involved in methylation, which in turn raised homocysteine levels—linked to heart disease risk.
Our findings indicate that B vitamins have a promising potential to lower these harmful homocysteine levels and could help prevent complications like endothelial dysfunction in hypothyroid patients.

Vitamin B12 deficiency linked to hypothyroidism
We explored the connection between vitamin B12 levels and hypothyroidism in a study involving 100 patients. A significant 68% of these patients were found to be vitamin B12 deficient, with a notable correlation to the presence of anti TPO and anti Thyroglobulin antibodies.
This suggests that vitamin B12 may play a role in the symptoms experienced by hypothyroid individuals, especially since thyroid hormones influence the production of red blood cells. While supplementation could potentially help alleviate these symptoms, further research is essential to confirm its effectiveness in routine treatment.

No energy gained
5 people found this helpful
After taking these vitamins all week, I have experienced absolutely no increase in energy. As a menopausal woman with hypothyroidism, I require support against fatigue and lower moods. This product has not assisted with either issue, so I will return to the GNC Women’s multi-vitamin for energy and metabolism.

Increased energy
4 people found this helpful
After taking this, I felt energetic for the first time in ages, reminiscent of my youth. Suffering from hypothyroidism, this supplement reminded me of what it’s like to have energy. My advice is to take only a third of the pill, as it contains a high amount of vitamin B6, which can lead to toxicity in large doses. I take it twice a week.

We examined the effects of Myo-inositol on autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism. Clinical studies indicated that combining Myo-inositol with seleniomethionine significantly reduced TSH levels in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.
This treatment not only lowered TSH but also reduced antithyroid autoantibodies, suggesting a positive immune-modulatory effect. However, further research with larger populations is needed to better understand how this treatment impacts overall quality of life and to investigate the underlying mechanisms involved.

Well absorbed benefits
3 people found this helpful
Well absorbed for hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's. I have hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's, which affects nutrient absorption. This bioactive form of vitamin B is readily absorbed. I tend to take one tablet every two or three days to avoid a Niacin flush, and find that dosing every other day is beneficial. The quality is excellent, and it's particularly good for those with methylation issues.

I’m a fan of Life Extension supplements. Due to my hypothyroidism, this B complex is vital for addressing deficiencies. The composition is fantastic, with high-quality ingredients that are gluten-free and Non-GMO. The pill size is perfect for regular use, and the presence of folate is a bonus. It significantly benefits metabolism and energy levels.
