I'm dealing with thyroid hypothyroidism and I've been feeling really low in energy, plus there's this constant sense of dullness. I've heard about Shilajit tablets and was wondering if taking them at night might help with these symptoms. Is it safe to do this, and could it really help improve my energy levels and reduce weakness?

View allI'm really looking to increase my height at 26 years old. At the moment, I'm 5'6" and I'd love to reach around 5'9" or 5'10". I've heard about HGH supplements like L-arginine or L-lysinedo these actually work for someone my age? If not, are there any other supplements you might recommend for height growth? I stay active with yoga, running, stretching, and jumping. Would love your advice!
Unfortunately, at the age of 26, your growth plates have likely fused, making it very difficult to increase height through supplements or exercises. HGH supplements like l-arginine or l-lysine may not significantly impact your height at this stage. However, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain bone health. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals can support overall health and potentially optimize your height potential.

Hey, I've just turned 26 and I'm a guy. I recently had a health checkup and it turns out my TSH levels are unbelievably high at 96.34. My doctor wanted to double-check, so I got tested again, and now it's 99.46. My latest test results show T3 at 0.90, Free T4 at 0.53, and TSH at 99.46. I'm worried about how this might affect my daily life. I'm not married yet and I'm scared this could mess up my married life in the future. I do a lot of sportscan that help me manage things apart from taking medication? Also, I've started to notice I'm not handling the cold too well, plus my scalp and skin are pretty dry. Feeling a bit lost herehow is this going to impact my life moving forward? Any insights would be really appreciated.
Having high TSH levels can indicate hypothyroidism, which can affect your energy levels, metabolism, mood, and overall well-being. In terms of your future marriage life, high TSH levels can potentially impact fertility and sexual health, so it's important to address this issue. Regular exercise can help to some extent, but medication is usually necessary to regulate thyroid function. For your symptoms of intolerance to cold, scalpdry skin, and other potential hypothyroidism symptoms, your doctor may prescribe levothyroxine, which is a synthetic thyroid hormone. It's important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your thyroid levels and adjust your medication as needed. Making lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress can also support thyroid health.
