View allI'm 31 and planning to conceive this year, but I've been told my TSH levels are too high for that, and I might need hormone pills. My Vitamin D is also low at 4.82 ngml. I've heard low Vitamin D can lead to high TSH. Should I start with Vitamin D supplements first? Would that help with the TSH levels, or should I focus on the TSH issue directly? What's your advice on navigating these levels when planning for pregnancy?
You can take injection. Uprise D3 6L once a week for 6 weeks. After that tab. D3 must 60k to be chewed once a week for 12 weeks.

I'm really curious about Ashwagandha and if it can actually help someone grow taller. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Also, are there any home therapies you would recommend for increasing height?
Ashwagandha is an herb that is commonly used in traditional medicine for various health benefits, but there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can increase a person's height. As for side effects, Ashwagandha is generally considered safe for most people when taken in appropriate doses. However, some people may experience side effects such as upset stomach, diarrhea, and vomiting. There is no proven home therapy to increase height. Height is largely determined by genetics and factors such as nutrition and overall health during childhood and adolescence. If you have concerns about your height, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
