I just started taking a combination of flaxseeds and alfa alfa powder in my morning shake. I have hypothyroidism and take Thyronorme (25mcg) tab everyday. Wanted to know if flaxseeds and alfa alfa are good in stimulating a slow thyroid. Also I am here for losing weight. Please advice.

    If your thryoid is so low that you have to take thyroid hormone, no supp[lement on earth will "stimulate" it enough to enable you to get off the thyroid hormone.

    You will still need the drugs. The herbal elements can help it but the damage has been done.

    Trust me. I was diagnosed 7 years ago.

    Also, there's no reason you can't lose weight with a thyroid condition if your condition is stable, you don't use it as an excuse, and you pay attention to foods that mess with you....
