Iron pour Hypothyroid-Related Weight Gain

C

Iron is required for thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and iron deficiency impairs T4-to-T3 conversion and thyroid hormone synthesis. Meta-analysis of 22 RCTs found correction of iron deficiency improves exercise tolerance and VO2max. Supplement only when deficiency is confirmed.
