I'm a 40-year-old woman. I'm also hypothyroid at 75 mg thyronorm daily. I have no other health issues so far. My child is now 10 months born via c section. He is exclusively breast feeding and now moving on solids. My question: which supracal would be good for me to take? Pro or xt. I take a normal diet. Not very high in calcium. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Most important is the treatment of hypothyroidism is to maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L, at which level all the symptoms are in control. As regards calcium supplement any tablet is as good as the other. Other aspect to be remembered is to take a healthy diet. Avoid soy beans and soy containing foods. Avoid pastries, bakery items, deep fried foods, foods made from maida. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Also avoid colas, alcohol and smoking. Plus there is a need for regular exercise for over 1 hour. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
