Vitamin E protects hypothyroid tissues
Vitamin E Prevented Hepatic and Renal Tissue Damage in Hypothyroid Rats.
Moderate relevance in vitamin E study
We explored the impact of vitamin E on liver and kidney health in rats affected by hypothyroidism. To conduct this research, we divided the rats into three groups: a control group, a group with induced hypothyroidism treated with propylthiouracil (PTU), and a third group with hypothyroidism that also received vitamin E injections.

Over the course of 42 days, we monitored various health markers in these groups. The hypothyroid rats showed a significant drop in important substances like serum thyroxin, which is critical for thyroid function. We also noted an increase in harmful compounds while protective enzyme activities plummeted in their liver and kidney tissues.

Interestingly, vitamin E appeared to reverse some of this damage. It raised the levels of important antioxidants and reduced harmful substances in the tissues of rats receiving it. Not only did we observe improvements in blood markers like alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), but albumin levels also increased, indicating a healthier state of the liver and kidneys.

Overall, our findings suggest that vitamin E has a protective role against liver and kidney damage in hypothyroid rats, potentially offering a beneficial adjunct therapy for thyroid-related health issues.

Vitamin E may reduce hypothyroidism risk
Vitamin E Intake and Prevalence Rates of Thyroid Dysfunction and Autoimmune Thyroiditis: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of NHANES Data.
Research highlights vitamin E's influence
We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to investigate how dietary vitamin E intake relates to thyroid dysfunction, particularly focusing on hypothyroidism. Our study included 7,773 nonpregnant adults who did not have preexisting thyroid conditions and provided complete information on their thyroid function and vitamin E intake.

Participants were grouped based on their vitamin E consumption into three categories: low, moderate, and high. We found that the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) decreased significantly with higher vitamin E intake. Specifically, only 1.85% of those in the highest intake group experienced SCH, compared to 3.63% in the lowest group.

The results showed a strong association between high vitamin E levels and lower rates of SCH. Notably, this connection was particularly evident in males, where both moderate and high vitamin E intake correlated with noticeably reduced prevalence rates. However, we found no significant relationship for females. Our findings suggest that increasing vitamin E intake may offer protective benefits against SCH in men, which is an exciting avenue for further research.

Micronutrients' effect on hypothyroidism
The Effect of Some Micronutrients Multi-Supplementation on Thyroid Function, Metabolic Features and Quality of Life in Patients Treating With Levothyroxine and Vitamin D: A Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Moderate relevance for vitamin E
In a recent double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we explored how supplementation with certain micronutrients, including vitamin E, might influence health in individuals with hypothyroidism. Our study involved 104 patients who were receiving standard treatment with levothyroxine and vitamin D. Participants were assigned to either a group receiving a blend of micronutrients, including selenium, zinc, magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, or a placebo group over eight weeks.

Although we observed some changes in insulin resistance and quality of life in patients receiving the micronutrient supplements, the isolated impact of vitamin E cannot be clearly defined from our findings. Importantly, while vitamin E was part of the micronutrient mix administered, the study did not specifically highlight significant benefits attributed directly to vitamin E alone. Overall, our findings suggest that while there may be some positive effects from the multi-supplementation, further studies are essential to clarify the role of each component and their true impact on hypothyroidism.

Thus, while vitamin E could have potential benefits, they remain inconclusive within this particular trial's context, emphasizing the need for more targeted research to fully understand its effects.

Improved skin moisture
Excellent. I take it with a meal containing fat after breakfast, such as fried eggs in olive oil. I feel my skin has become more moisturised. I have severe dehydration due to hypothyroidism.

Good antioxidant effect
Good quality with valuable ingredients, worth the price. The size is adequate, and the packaging allows for use over several days. A good antioxidant, I recommend it for hypothyroidism.

Vitamin E's mixed impact on hypothyroidism
Intermittent Fasting and Vitamin E Supplementation Attenuates Hypothyroidism-Associated Ophthalmopathy.
Lower impact on hypothyroidism healing
We explored the impact of vitamin E supplementation along with intermittent fasting (IF) on hypothyroidism-associated ophthalmopathy (HAO), which presents as various eye problems linked to low thyroid function. The study involved dividing experimental animals into five groups: a control group with normal thyroid function, a hypothyroid control group, and three groups that received different treatments, including vitamin E and IF.

Over 24 days, hypothyroidism was induced in specific groups using propylthiouracil (PTU). The findings revealed that the hypothyroid animals showed increased intraocular pressure and higher levels of lipid peroxidation—indicators of oxidative stress. Interestingly, levels of thyroid hormones dropped significantly, showcasing the adverse effects hypothyroidism can have on eye health and overall well-being.

Although the treatments were inspired by ancient Ayurveda and aimed at mitigating damage to the thyroid and eye, the results highlight the need for further research. We noted improvements with the combined approach of vitamin E and intermittent fasting but did not establish definitive benefits specifically linked to vitamin E alone. This nuanced understanding sheds light on potential dietary strategies for those affected by hypothyroidism.
