Decent enough. You need more vitamin E, though. Fish oil directly increases vitamin E demand. You should get a 400 IU supplement, and add it to the above. Also, alphalipoic acid increases the half-life of both vitamins C and E, while simultaneously acting as an antioxidant in its own right. 100-200 mg/day is a good idea.There are gaping mineral gaps in this supplement, as well. No zinc (target 25-30 mg/day), selenium (200 mcg/day), chromium (variable, but 200 mcg/day is a good target).

> i guess that doesnt count for me.lol not sure.Only if you take those drugs orally. It won't affect thyroid function, just uptake from the gut if you are taking e.g. oral levothyroxine.
> hasnt seem to help me though.I can assure you it isn't hurting you, either. Adding the minerals I mention might make a difference. The vitamins assist enzymes in functioning, whereas the minerals are structural components of those same enzymes. Your body can't make enzymes without minerals around which to fashion them.
