Hi, green tea stimulates the thyroid function, so there are no problems in use, but do not exceed the dosages, also I recommend a diet with abundant presence of oily fish, which contains iodine, physical activity of at least 30 minutes a day, which stimulates the metabolic functions, and also fruits and vegetables due to the presence of vitamins and minerals, obviously paying attention to the quantities. Good day

Hello, the abuse of green tea is never recommended as well as for other herbs or substances that can subtly interfere with medical therapies. Rather, promote sports activity and reduce tea intake only in the morning or possibly to two cups a day. If you have not been on eutirox therapy for a long time, I recommend that you consult a good homeopath who is able to restore normal thyroid function, thus eliminating drug addiction. Good luck.

Greetings! I advise you to inform and contact the endocrinologist who is following you before resorting to any form of dietary supplement … Best regards.

Hello, green tea extract can be used as an adjuvant in weight loss therapy. In his case, however, the problem is certainly due to the endocrinological situation (it does not specify whether he is in substitution therapy and what type of hypothyroidism it is) and probably to a low-grade inflammatory state that facilitates the maintenance of overweight. It would be advisable first of all to intervene on a general rebalancing, starting from the diet that could lead to an improvement of the hypothyroid picture and therefore indirectly influence the weight. with regard
