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.

My blood report shows B12 as 63 indicating deficiency and vitamin D as 11.1 indicating insufficiency. I am a pure vegetarian. Is Supradyn okay for this and do I need to take B12 injections as a supplement?
