The most common cause of hypothyroidism is hashimoto's thyroiditis (autoimmune hypothyroidism).
200mcg of selenium daily is shown in many clinical trials to lower TPO thyroid antibodies. Brazil nuts are full of selenium and shown to increase blood levels of selenium and glutathione peroxidase (powerful antioxidant) better then selenium supplements. >>> http://foodconsumer.org/7777/8888/F_ood_…
Vitamin E maximises selenium absorption. Recommended between 400-800 IU daily.
A gluten free diet lowers thyroid antibodies. "...researchers found that...organ-specific autoantibodies (i.e., thyroid antibodies) -- will disappear after 3 to 6 months of a gluten-free diet." Anyone with an autoimmune thyroid condition should have a test for celiac's disease. >>> http://thyroid.about.com/cs/latestresear…
Iodine stimulates the enzyme TPO and in turn increases the levels of TPO antibodies dramatically. Avoid this supplement with an autoimmune thyroid condition. Iodine is however important for thyroid function. Recommended around 100mcg daily.
