      I'm wondering what people value as their most important daily supplement (vitamin, mineral, hormone, etc). For your choice, why?

      Thyroid is the supplement that had the greatest impact on my health, but the only supplement I continue to use is vitamin D3 (Premier Research Labs). When my thyroid function was poor, supplementing vitamin D kept me from becoming deficient, even when I was sunbathing regularly, and now I use it year round primarily as a sleep aid.

      Hi Jennifer, I'd be curious to know what time of day you take vitamin D for sleep? I ask because I've read that taking it at bed time may actually negatively affect sleep. Considering it does make many tired when taking it, it would be convenient to take before bed.

      Hi Mossy, I typically take it in the morning, but the times I’ve taken it before bed have been just as effective. What’s more likely to affect my sleep negatively are the excipients. I used to get the NOW brand of vitamin D drops until I discovered that the MCT oil it contains was irritating my intestines and disturbing my sleep. I switched to vitamin D in olive oil and haven’t had a problem since.

      Ok, good to know that it works am or pm for you. I also have vitamin D in olive oil, which I also find better than the MCT, where the MCT gave me what I've described as a serotonin effect in the gut, but maybe your description that it's irritating the intestines is more accurate. Do you purposely stay away from the other supplements that many pair with vitamin D — Vitamin K2, Magnesium, Calcium, and Vitamin A? I'd be interested to know how you've concluded to just use vitamin D (if that indeed is the case). I've heard many share that these co-factors are needed to properly facilitate vitamin D, such as to direct calcium into the bones versus the blood. I ask out of genuine interest, not because I think I know better or am suggesting otherwise. I like the idea of taking less supplements when possible.

      Oh, no worries. I didn’t think you were suggesting otherwise. And I think your description is just as accurate as mine. I simplify by saying irritating instead out of habit because it’s easier for the non-Peaters I speak with to understand as a negative when they believe “serotonin is the happy hormone.“ I supplement vitamin D and not the others because I don’t get enough sun during the winter to keep my level above 30, but my diet is naturally abundant in K2, magnesium, calcium and vitamin A so my levels of them are always within range. When it comes to directing calcium into bones, I’m more concerned with my thyroid and parathyroid function.

      Thank you for the added detail. Good to know you're able to take just the vitamin D, considering you're getting the others in food. I may try just that.

      You’re welcome. 🙂 Yeah, I try to get nutrients from food whenever possible for a couple of reasons and with my current diet, I don’t get much vitamin D, however, I plan on experimenting with UV-exposed mushrooms. Ray talked about incandescent light for vitamin D so that’s another option.

        There is a lot of good science on aspirin. My position is that if it costing pension systems $, then it has got to be healthy for an individual.

            UV exposed mushrooms sound interesting. I did a quick search and it seems most UV exposed mushrooms provide D2, with some providing D3 and D4 (shiitake). I wonder how much importance should be placed on prioritizing D3, which most supplements contain today? At the least, UV exposed mushrooms seem worth trying. Would you set them in the sun or shine a UV light on them indoors? After doing some math, it would seem best to simply use the UV exposed mushrooms in place of regular ones, within a given meal, not necessarily replace supplemental vitamin D with them. (At least for someone on a budget.) Cost wise and food volume wise, it would be hard to match the cost and convenience per dose of olive oil based vitamin D3.

              @Jennifer Agree with Jennifer on this one. Thyroid was so essential in my journey to metabolic health. Thyroid and vitamin D are the two supplements i continue to take.

                It’s been years since I’ve researched it but from what I remember, studies showed that D2 isn’t as effective at raising serum vitamin D concentrations as D3, but my diet does contain some D3 from animal proteins and I planned on using shiitakes because I already consume them for selenium. However, I’m going to trial a lichen-based D3 supplement first. My main reason for wanting to get vitamin D from mushrooms instead of lanolin-derived D3 is I don’t know the farm(s) that supply the lanolin so I don’t know if the sheep are treated ethically, and I hadn’t found a lichen-derived D3 that wasn’t in MCT or sunflower oil, but I finally came across one in olive oil this past Saturday.

                  You have another interesting idea with that lichen based D3. I did a quick search on amazon, but I'm only seeing a dry version, nothing olive oil based. If you happen to be buying that online and you don't mind sharing a link, I would be interested in learning more about it.

                    You and Jennifer both have had success with thyroid. I've read so many comments of how challenging it is to get it right. If time allows, do you mind if I ask which brand you take and how you take it, and what improvements you see on it? Many take it intending to wean off of it once health has improved. Is that your goal as well, or do you intent to continue with it long-term? Of all the Peatisms, thyroid is the one thing I have not tried yet due to a majority of bad experiences others have had. Maybe your story (like Jennifer's) could prove otherwise.

                      I take haidut's thyroid "tyromix." When taking it I would not take more than 2 drops at once. more than 9mcg t3 in one sitting will cause a stress reaction. So i take it one drop at a time spread out throughout the day. I take it with meals. For example 6 mcg t4 3 mcg t3 with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then two doses before bed. I total 5 drops throughout the day. When I first started I was needing up to 12 drops a day to maintain high temps. I have slowly weaned off but I dont plan to come off entirely.

                            @Jennifer Agree with Jennifer on this one. Thyroid was so essential in my journey to metabolic health. Thyroid and vitamin D are the two supplements i continue to take.

                            You and Jennifer both have had success with thyroid. I've read so many comments of how challenging it is to get it right. If time allows, do you mind if I ask which brand you take and how you take it, and what improvements you see on it? Many take it intending to wean off of it once health has improved. Is that your goal as well, or do you intent to continue with it long-term? Of all the Peatisms, thyroid is the one thing I have not tried yet due to a majority of bad experiences others have had. Maybe your story could prove otherwise.

                            I take haidut's thyroid "tyromix." When taking it I would not take more than 2 drops at once. more than 9mcg t3 in one sitting will cause a stress reaction. So i take it one drop at a time spread out throughout the day. I take it with meals. For example 6 mcg t4 3 mcg t3 with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then two doses before bed. I total 5 drops throughout the day. When I first started I was needing up to 12 drops a day to maintain high temps. I have slowly weaned off but I dont plan to come off entirely.

                            Thank you for the detail. It's interesting that you take Tyromix and @Jennifer prefers Tyromax. Maybe I will have to try both.

                                  It's hard to argue with success. I can't blame you for not changing. Per a previous comment from Jennifer, the ratio for T4:T3, is 2:1 for Tyromix, and 4:1 for Tyromax. When I have the courage I'll try each. I just don't feel like dealing with the tachycardia, which seems inevitable for me — until I get the dose right.

                                    @Mossy Yea i think the 2:1 ratio is more in tune with Ray's recommendations as well. Especially for hypothyroid people utillizing a high ratio of t4 is difficult

                                      I prefered TyroMix initially but after a while, it stopped working for me. Ray said that thyroid hormone is unstable in alcohol so I initially thought maybe it had lost its potency over time. All I know for sure is, my T4 never came back below range until supplementing with TyroMix and when I switched back to TyroMax, my T4 came right back in range and my hypo symptoms vanished. With that said, Armour works better for me than TyroMax—I need half the amount.

                                        @Jennifer Do you have any experience with cynomel? Im thinking of transitioning from tyromix to cynomel. The alcohol stability thing is interesting. Probably another reason he didnt reccomend liquid thyroid.

                                          @Sugarnotsnow, unfortunately, I don’t. If this helps any, Ray recommended Cynoplus in one of our email exchanges, and whenever I come across him recommending thyroid, more often than not it’s Cynoplus. I’m almost sure he said it was good to have some T4 before bed.

                                            @Jennifer Okay thank you! My plan was to have cynomel (t3) throughout the day than cynoplus(t4 + t3) before bed.
