The Best Form Of Zinc To Take For Your Thyroid
What is the best form of zinc to take for your thyroid? Zinc is one of the most important nutrients for your thyroid.
Zinc is required for T4 to T3 conversion, it is required for binding of T3 to thyroid DNA receptors, it's needed for TRH production, and much more.
The bottom line is if you don't have enough zinc then your thyroid won't function optimally.
Many thyroid patients know this which is why they supplement with zinc. But which form of zinc should you use?
I do NOT recommend using zinc boind to picolinic acid or zinc picolinate as well as zinc oxide.
Other approved forms of zinc are found in the video and these should be the preference for thyroid patients.
For dosing, you will want to use somewhere between 5 to 15mg of the ideal form of zinc each day.
If you want to take more then you will need to split your dose apart by 5 hours.
Higher doses of zinc may cause issues with your copper balance so keep that in mind!
The ideal form and dose of zinc can be found in my supplement Thyroid Daily Essentials as well as T3 conversion booster.
