Why Thyroid Disorders Often Lead to Vitamin Deficiencies

Thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease affect bodily functions far beyond hormone production. Many patients suffer from nutrient deficiencies that worsen fatigue, mood changes, and metabolic issues. PD-Rx helps providers support thyroid health with accessible medication dispensing and vitamin supplementation options.

Why Thyroid Disorders Cause Vitamin Deficiencies

1. Reduced Stomach Acid

Low stomach acid decreases absorption of:

  • B12

  • Iron

  • Zinc

  • Magnesium

2. Autoimmune Activity

Hashimoto’s impacts the gut lining, limiting nutrient absorption.
PD-Rx supports clinics carrying the supplements that help restore balance.

3. Impact of Thyroid Medications

Levothyroxine can interfere with the absorption of several minerals.
PD-Rx helps clinics educate patients and provide proper supplemental options.
