Adding Resveratrol+Nad with Levothyroxine: Safety Concerns?

I have subclinical hypothyroidism and i have been taking levothyroxine. I want to include Reseveratrol+Nad to my routine. Is it safe for me to?

Answered on 6th Aug '24

You're taking levothyroxine for subclinical hypothyroidism and are considering adding Resveratrol+NAD. Subclinical hypothyroidism means your thyroid isn't working properly, but you may not have noticeable symptoms yet. Common symptoms like tiredness, weight gain, and feeling cold may develop. Levothyroxine helps regulate your thyroid hormones. Resveratrol+NAD is a supplement some people take, but there is limited evidence of its effects on thyroid function. It's important to discuss any new supplements with your endocrinologist to ensure they won't interfere with your current treatment plan.

I HV been diagnosed with thyroid level 4.84 and TB gold as >10 infection.what does it mean

Female | 38

Your thyroid is 4.84, it is slightly elevated which shows that there may be an issue with your thyroid. Moreover, TB Gold >10 suggests a possible infection of tuberculosis. These signs may differ, for instance, fatigue, weight gain or loss as well as coughing up blood could all indicate this disease. The cause is either malfunctioning glands in the neck region or exposure to TB bacteria through inhalation into one’s lungs. Therapy involves drugs that normalize hormone production by these organs and anti-TB medications if necessary.

My Vitamin d is 5. Is this very low and what symptoms i might feel in daily life?

Female | 29

A Vitamin D level of 5 is quite low. It can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle weakness, bone pain, and getting sick often. This can happen because your body needs Vitamin D to stay strong and healthy. You can increase your Vitamin D level by spending time in the sun, taking supplements, and eating foods like fish and eggs that contain Vitamin D.

Female | 19

Hormonal imbalances with hyperthyroidism can alter your cycle. This may lead to light, scanty menstruation. The good news is that when you return home, it becomes normal again but changes after some time. For you, adjusting medications could be useful in balancing hormones as well as enhancing flow during menses. Have a talk with your doctor about this.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None

Male | 41

Graves' Dise­ase affects thyroid function. Your rece­nt TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To re­gulate hormone leve­ls, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as pre­scribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolle­d symptoms. These may include rapid he­artbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have­ any worries or questions, be sure­ to discuss them with your doctor.

I am 17 year old female. Today and yesterday I have been feeling extremely lightheaded. Everytime I turn my head it goes fuzzy. I am diagnosed with Anorexia. However I’ve been eating fine recently so I don’t think it’s a nutrition problem. I checked my glucose levels and they are 6.4mmol/L Any ideas??

Female | 17

This might be a case of orthostatic hypotension. It may occur when your blood pressure drops suddenly after a sudden change in position. Anorexia has an effect on the heart, which can result in this problem. Drink more fluids and take it slow when switching positions to make the condition easy to manage. If it persists, talk to your doctor.

I just started taking bio identical progesterone cream for help with PMS symptoms and I wanted ti know if taking phentermine will have any impact on the progesterone or if the combination together will keep me from getting my period

Female | 34

Phentermine is a medication that aids in weight loss by decreasing the feeling of hunger. Alongside progesterone, phentermine may be lessened in power. You should discuss them with your doctor before taking both at the same time. They can offer you good advice on the impacts of each other and your period.

I have thyroid 1.25 and have been missing my periods

Female | 22

A reading of 1.25 could me­an missed periods, tiredne­ss, and weight fluctuations. An imbalanced thyroid disrupts your cycle's re­gularity. To address this issue, your doctor may prescribe­ medication to stabilize thyroid hormone le­vels. Following their guidance and maintaining a he­althy lifestyle is crucial for supporting optimal thyroid function.

Hi doctor, I have thyroid TSH 8.5 and also I am pregnant (3 weeks), so my question is is that a very dangerous level of thyroiad

Female | 23

In pregnancy, a TSH re­ading at 8.5 indicates suboptimal thyroid performance. Pote­ntial manifestations encompass fatigue, incre­ased weight, and lowere­d body temperature. Furthe­rmore, implications for the fetus may arise­. To rectify this issue, physicians often pre­scribe medication to normalize hormone­ levels.

Female | 26

It’s normal for their cholesterol levels to go up. Moreover, the thyroid medication you are on may be a contributing factor. Keep track of your cholesterol since it can sometimes be risky. Ensure you eat well and stay physically fit too. You should see a doctor about any worries you might have.

You should discuss any insulin regimen changes with a doctor before you do anything. Both Fiasp and Novarapid are rapid-acting insulins to be used to treat diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. It is recommended to follow only the insulin given by the doctor to avoid any complications.

I am 55 year old person and having thyroid problem for last few years. I am taking medicine EUTHYROX 25. But I am in doubt with this medicine. Recently I tested my TSH test again, which result is below... T3 - 1.26 ng/mL T4 - 7.66 ug/dL TSH - 4.25 ml/UL (CLIA METHOD) Please suggest correct type of thyroid and medicine. Thanks

Male | 55

Your TSH level is a bit high, which means your thyroid isn’t making enough hormones. This can make you feel tired, gain weight, and be sensitive to the cold. People who have hypothyroidism usually take EUTHYROX 25 -- you might end up needing more or something else entirely. You must talk to your doctor about what all this means so they can help come up with a plan that will work best for you.

I'm very skinny. I eat a lot but still I don't gain any weight

Male | 16

One potential reason is that you have a fast metabolism. Your body burns through calories very quickly, which can make it difficult for some people to gain weight. Other potential causes may include hyperthyroidism or problems with malabsorption. You should consult with a dietitian or nutritionist who will assist in creating a meal plan that helps increase your calorie intake healthily.

I have symptoms of vitamin d deficiency and got tested please can u prescribe medicine

Female | 50

Experiencing low vitamin D levels may lead to symptoms such as bone pain if proper daily food consumption and sun exposure are not met. A person may suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to insufficient exposure to sunlight and lack of vitamin D-enriched foods. The main causes are for instance unusual fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, and frequent sickening episodes. A good way to reinforce your vitamin D levels. Surely, vitamin D consists of supplements helping, for example, outdoor exercise for some time each day. The vitamin D in even more foods such as fish and egg yolks can help too.
