Symptoms of a diseased thyroid and a vitamin that really works

A sluggish thyroid, or hypothyroidism, affects an increasing number of people, and natural approaches to treatment are becoming increasingly popular. If you’re wondering which vitamins are best for thyroid health, you’ll find the answer in this article. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B12, two key nutrients that can strongly support your thyroid function and restore energy to the body, occupy a special place.

What is the thyroid gland and why is it important?

The Thyroid (lat. thyroidea) is a small but extremely important endocrine gland located in the anterior part of the neck, where it envelops the trachea like a butterfly. It is made up of follicles, cells that produce the hormones T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). These hormones regulate:

• Metabolism
• Heart rate and breathing
• Digestion
• Sleep and energy
• Functioning of the brain and other glands (e.g. gonads)

An imbalance of hormones can slow down metabolism by as much as 40%, causing fatigue, weight gain, constipation and depression – typical symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Vitamins for the thyroid gland: B2 and B12

If you have a sluggish thyroid, the most important nutrients that can help you are B vitamins, especially B2 (riboflavin) and B12 (cobalamin).

✅ Vitamin B2 – support for hormone production

Vitamin B2 is involved in many biochemical processes, including the production of thyroid hormones. A deficiency of this vitamin can further aggravate the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

• Recommended daily dose: 50 mg (as a dietary supplement)
• Foods rich in vitamin B2:
  • Liver
  • Organic milk
  • Spinach
  • Almonds
  • Dried tomatoes
  • Eggs
  • Quinoa, lentils, mushrooms
  • Tahini, tempeh
  • Wild salmon, mussels, squid, mackerel

✅ Vitamin B12 – energy and function of the nervous system

Vitamin B12 is often deficient in people with hypothyroidism, and its replacement helps with fatigue, fog in the head and weakness. It also supports the health of the nervous system and the functioning of metabolism.

• Recommended daily dose: about 1000 mcg (through dietary supplements)
• Foods rich in vitamin B12:
  • Liver and kidneys
  • Shellfish, sardines, tuna
  • Organic beef
  • Trout, salmon
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Organic milk and eggs

Natural Hypothyroidism Treatment Program

For long-term and all-natural treatment of hypothyroidism, a year-round plan is recommended that includes:

• Proper nutrition
• Supplementation with key vitamins and minerals
• Detoxification of the body
• Support the function of the liver, adrenal glands and intestines

But you can take the first step today: start with a regular intake of vitamins B2 and B12 – through food or supplements.

Conclusion

If you’re struggling with fatigue, weight gain, and a slow metabolism, it’s possible that your thyroid isn’t working at full capacity. Vitamin B2 and B12 can be your allies on the way to better health and a natural balance of hormones. For more information, watch my video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TA-YddlVLI
