Zinc's uncertain role in hypothyroidismThe 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.
Combination effects complicate findings
We conducted a study to investigate the effects of micronutrient supplementation, including zinc, on thyroid function and overall quality of life in patients with hypothyroidism. Our trial involved 104 participants who were receiving levothyroxine and vitamin D. They were randomly assigned to either a group that received a mix of essential nutrients or a placebo group over eight weeks.
We measured various health markers before and after this period, including thyroid hormone levels, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and blood pressure. Our findings suggested that the group receiving the micronutrient supplement experienced improvements in insulin resistance and overall quality of life. However, it’s important to note that the specific effects of zinc alone are somewhat difficult to isolate, as it was part of a combination of nutrients being tested.
Ultimately, while the study indicates potential benefits of micronutrient supplementation for thyroid function in hypothyroid patients, further trials are necessary to clearly define the role of zinc and other nutrients in this context.

Excellent zinc in a good form! The results are positive. I have hypothyroidism and require zinc supplementation. It’s also beneficial for hair, skin, nails, and boosts immunity!
I take these daily for my hypothyroidism, as advised by my doctor, and they significantly improved my hormone levels. Zinc Picolinate is the best for absorption and is affordable.
A very effective form of zinc. It's a little-known fact that zinc is essential for converting thyroid hormones T4 to T3. Insufficient T3 can lead to fatigue and other issues. If you suspect hypothyroidism but blood tests show normal T4 levels, trying a zinc supplement might be worthwhile. This one worked for me.

Zinc is crucial in thyroid diseases like hypothyroidism. Zinc Picolinate is among the best bioavailable forms. I've taken it without negative side effects and trust this manufacturer, as I’ve been buying their products for a long time.
Zinc was taken alongside selenium and iodine! This combination enhanced my thyroid gland function, helping eliminate my hypothyroidism. I take these in courses and only continuously use iodine. Dosages should be discussed with your doctor!
