Can thyroid (hypo) patients consume Shilajit tablet at night just to maintain energy level and to cure weakness or dullness?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Shilajit is generally safe for hypothyroid patients when taken in moderation, preferably at night and not near thyroid medication timing. Keep a 4 to 6 hour gap. It may help with energy, but if dullness or fatigue persists, its important to rule out Vitamin B12 or iron deficiency, both common in thyroid issues. Always inform your doctor if youre adding any supplement to your routine.

View allMy recent lab test report shows: Vitamin B12: 174.6 pg/mL Hydroxy Vitamin D3: 14.82 ng/mL Could you please suggest what this means and what steps or supplements I should take to correct these levels?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I have been having chronic lower back pain for the last one year. Low vitamin B12 and D3 were found in my blood report. The X ray report shows L3 L4 L5 disc space reduction and degenerated disc disease with muscle spasm. I had treatment three times and every time after medicine and physiotherapy the pain comes back even after doing exercises and maintaining proper sitting in office. What can be done to get cured from this frustrating lower back pain?
