Thyroid Pharmacist
Supplements
As a pharmacist, I am well aware that not all supplements are created equal. I have access to numerous high quality supplements, and have spent a great deal of time researching, developing and testing various brands.
Evaluating the safety, efficacy, and cost of various treatments was a large part of my training as a pharmacist. I have put my training to good use in overcoming Hashimoto's, and now, in the development of my own supplement line, Rootcology.
Rootcology is dedicated to creating innovative, bioavailable products that are made with the greatest care, and with the highest quality ingredients available. All of the supplement ingredients have been carefully chosen by yours truly, to address the needs and sensitivities of people with autoimmune thyroid disease.
Rootcology supplements are available through my shopping cart on the Rootcology website.
In addition, I also recommend the Pure Encapsulations brand.
Pure Encapsulations supplements are normally only available through healthcare professionals. However, the company has allowed me to make them available to you through a third-party online store, PureRXO, to better serve our community.*
These are the brands that I recommend for my family members and friends.
For questions about orders through PureRXO, please call: 888-821-8808*
For questions about Rootcology orders, please email: info@rootcology.com
Please Note: Rootcology and PureRXO are unable to offer international shipping at this time.
*PureRXO is a third-party company that maintains their own accounts and return policies. Thyroid Pharmacist and Rootcology do not control any orders, accounts, or policies of PureRXO.
Popular Thyroid Supplements
Betaine with Pepsin
by Rootcology
Betaine with Pepsin contains betaine hydrochloride (an amino acid derivative), and pepsin (a digestive enzyme), naturally occurring components of stomach acid that break down proteins. Taken with meals, this formula may help to support healthy digestive function, aid in the breakdown of protein-containing foods, and support optimal nutrient absorption.*
Selenium
by Pure Encapsulations
Selenium is a natural antioxidant that delays the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and preserves the elasticity of tissue. In synergy with vitamin E, selenium promotes healthy growth and fertility, and improves the function of certain energy producing cells. Selenium also provides support for the immune system, and protects normal cell function by supporting the body's natural defenses and scavenging harmful free radicals.
Carnitine Blend
by Rootcology
Carnitine is an important amino acid that helps provide the body with the fuel it needs to thrive, by assisting in the transport of fats as a fuel source and supporting mitochondrial health. Carnitine Blend combines 400 mg L-carnitine and 100 mg acetyl-L-carnitine (its acetylated form, which has unique brain-supportive properties), in one convenient capsule.*

Things to Consider with Thyroid Supplements
Quality of Supplements
I understand that supplements are a big investment in your health, and thus I wanted to provide access to high quality, well researched and tested products that will help you on your healing path.
- Supplements should be free of artificial additives, gluten, and dairy. Even small amounts can be detrimental and interfere with absorption.
- Formulations matter-certain ingredients don't mix well and can impair the absorption of other nutrients
- Methylated forms of B12 (methylcobalamin) are superior to cyanocobalamin.
- Folic Acid should be in the form of methylfolate, especially for those with MTHFR gene variations.
Pure Encapsulations®
Pure Encapsulations is a pharmaceutical grade brand that has extremely tight quality control and manufacturing guidelines. Each product undergoes rigorous testing by a third party laboratory to verify label claims, potency and purity. All the products sold by Pure Encapsulations are free of gluten, dairy, and additives that may impair absorption.
Rootcology®
Rootcology was developed through the application of my background in pharmacology and my extensive study of the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease. It is a blend of supplements that aims to address the root cause of health challenges, using high-quality, pharmaceutical grade ingredients and the principles of safe and effective pharmacology.
Rootcology supplements are composed of high-quality premium, pesticide-free ingredients, contain no gluten, dairy, soy-protein, or GMO ingredients, and undergo rigorous testing to ensure that the ingredients on the label match the ingredients inside each bottle.
