Natural Treatments For Hypothyroidism

Vitamin B-12

Studies have shown a vitamin B-12 deficiency in many of those suffering from hypothyroidism. Vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble vitamin the body cannot make. It is only made by bacterial microbes and archaea usually found in the soil where livestock feed. These bacteria then grow and live in the animals’ guts, making more B-12. Humans can then attain it from eating animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and milk. Vitamin B-12 is necessary for metabolism in cells and plays a vital role in the proper function of the nervous system.
