Calcium and calcitriol (a form of vitamin D) may be supplemented if a person is experiencing hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels) after a thyroidectomy. Other supplements that have been studied are L-carnitine and selenium. In some cases, biotin supplementation can falsely elevate thyroid hormone levels, so it's recommended to stop biotin supplementation for two days before testing.[1][2]
Have any supplements been studied for hyperthyroidism?
