Thyroid Supplements

Enhance Everyday Wellbeing with Thyroid Supplements

Curated by our wellness experts, our thyroid collection brings together supplements to support this small but mighty part of your body.

This butterfly-shaped gland, the thyroid, plays an important role in how you feel day-to-day. It's involved in hormone production, how much energy you have, your temperature regulation, as well as mood, skin, hair and overall vitality. The impact of looking after your thyroid health cannot be understated.

Thyroid supplements, including nutrients such as iodine, selenium, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin B complex, and sometimes L-tyrosine, are commonly chosen to support normal thyroid function.

About Thyroid Supplements

Thyroid supplements are formulas designed to support the nutrients involved in normal thyroid function, which can have a range of benefits, including:

  • more energy
  • reduce fatigue
  • improve metabolism
  • improve mood

Supportive thyroid supplements will offer different support to different people. Thyroid supplements can support you if you're suffering from low energy or feeling constantly run-down. For others, concerns may stem from changes in weight, skin or hair health. 

When supporting your thyroid, it's important to take a careful and considered approach. Thyroid supplements are not a replacement for thyroid medication. Medical conditions such as an overactive or underactive thyroid require testing and medical support, so we'd always recommend contacting your GP for advice before taking thyroid supplements.

Signs & Symptoms of Thyroid Problems

Thyroid issues generally fall into two categories: underactive and overactive.
Hypothyroidism = underactive, where the body slows down.

Symptoms include:

  • Feeling constantly tired or weak
  • Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Feeling especially cold, while others feel warm
  • Digestive issues such as constipation
  • Feelings of low mood, depression and brain fog
  • Skin and hair complaints, such as dry, thinning hair or dry skin.

Hyperthyroidism = overactive, where the body speeds up.

When the thyroid speeds up, it produces too many hormones, and your metabolism can go into overdrive. Signs of this include:

  • Unexplained weight loss and a decreased appetite
  • Heart palpitations or a faster-than-normal heartbeat
  • Feelings nervous or irritable without explanation
  • Struggling to sleep, this is where sleep support supplements can really help
  • Sensitivity to heat, such as feeling sweaty or too hot
  • A mild shaking or trembling in your hands.

Other symptoms of thyroid issues include a swollen thyroid gland, which creates a lump or feeling of fullness at the base of your neck. If you are experiencing a combination of symptoms, while supplements can certainly help, they should be investigated by a health professional first. A standard thyroid blood test is generally the first step, and is a quick and accurate way to check your hormone levels.

Supplements for Thyroid Support

Low Energy: Thyroid hormone levels can significantly affect your energy. Key nutrients for low energy include vitamin B12, vitamin D and iron.

Skin and Hair Health: Changes in your skin and hair can be common alongside thyroid changes. Supportive supplements include zinc supplements, selenium supplements, which also offer cellular protection and omega-3, which is a great addition to an inside-out wellness routine.

For Vegans and Vegetarians: A vegan, vegetarian or plant-based diet can support your wellbeing, although certain thyroid-related nutrients may need extra attention, depending on your diet. Vitamin B12, iron and zinc can be harder to obtain depending on your diet and use of fortified foods.

How to Choose the Best Thyroid Supplement

Consider your symptoms: Understanding your main concern when it comes to thyroid wellness will help you choose more thoughtfully.

Check the nutrient levels: Check the amount of iodine, selenium, zinc and other nutrients included, as it may be important to avoid high-dose iodine or selenium depending on any medication you take. Cytoplan Thyroid Support is a carefully formulated supplement designed to provide a blend of vitamins, minerals and botanical ingredients in a convenient capsule format, offering a great option for all-round support.

Consider Timing: When taking supplements alongside medication, it's important to consider timing so neither blocks the other from being absorbed. If you're unsure, speak to your pharmacist about how much time to leave between your medication and supplements.

Avoid Doubling Up: It's important not to combine thyroid-related formulas, unless advised, as this may increase your intake beyond what you need.

Thyroid Support, Skin and Hair Health

At Face the Future, we know that changes in your skin and hair can change how you feel going through your day-to-day, especially when it feels out of your control due to underlying medical conditions.

Thyroid changes may sometimes be associated with dry skin, hair shedding, brittle-feeling hair, thinning brows, dullness or changes in skin texture. However, these concerns can have many causes, including stress, hormones, iron levels, vitamin D, B12, age, medication and skin barrier disruption.

A thyroid-focused beauty routine should look at both inside-out and topical support, consider beauty supplements alongside a gentle topical skincare and haircare routine.
