Question

Mine is a little under active and I don't want to use prescribed drugs yet as there are some nasty sounding side-effects.

Answer 1

Beside L-Tyrosine I have used kelp,Sea Mussle,Parsley.

Answer 2

nope no side effects on me and i've been taking synthyroid for about 11 yrs now . they removed mine cause of cancer

Answer 3

L-tyrosine (or tyrosine)

L-tyrosine (500 mg two or three times a day) is a precursor to thyroid hormone and may help boost levels in the body. Iodine (naturally derived from kelp), along with L-tyrosine, is essential to the normal, healthy function of the thyroid gland.

Iodine is sold as a supplement in the form of kelp.

Both L-tyrosine and kelp can be found at most health stores.

Answer 6

With an underactive thyroid, you may have an iodine deficiency.  if you add iddine, then your thryoid may start functioning.

The liquid vitamin product I use has this in it.  There also is a product that you can look into called thryroid activiator.

Check the links below.

Answer 7

There's uaually no side effects with thyroid medication, unless you are on too much.  Some have experienced hairloss with Synthroid, but that's the only side efffect I know of and it does not happen with all thyroid meds.  

A little bit underactive is kind of like saying a little bit pregnant.  Changes are going on within your body if the TSH level is over 2.0.  If you want something natural there are a few choices for natural thyroid medcation (Armour, Naturethroid) These meds are often considered antianging supplements in other countries,  I am hypothyroid and have been on Armour for 5+ years with great results.  I'd never want to go without it.
