Subclinical Hypothyroidism – is it High Risk?
A person with subclinical hypothyroidism will normally have mildly elevated TSH levels whilst having normal T3 and T4 levels. The good news here is that sufferers often do not have any symptoms or they have very minor symptoms. However, we have come across people who are diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism who are experiencing many of the regular symptoms associated with primary hypothyroidism. These symptoms often include dry skin and hair, constipation, brittle finger nails and fatigue. Do any of these symptoms sound familiar to you? If so you may be experiencing this form of thyroid problem.
It is estimated that around 8% of women and 4% of men have subclinical hypothyroidism. However, these figures change dramatically in older people (60+) where it’s more like 15% of women and men who can suffer. This is much more than anybody originally thought and much more work is needed to properly define what constitutes normal, in terms of THS levels, for some people.
Despite the fact that subclinical hypothyroidism is often asymptomatic, it can still have very serious consequences when left untreated. For example, sufferers can suffer from the following problems:
- Higher risk of miscarriage
- Higher risk of atherosclerosis
- Higher risk of heart attack
- Higher risk of cholesterol
- Higher risk of triglycerides
- Higher risk of depression and anxiety
- Higher risk of panic attacks
- Higher risk of problems in babies born to mothers who suffer from subclinical hypothyroidism.
A peer reviewed journal of the American Academy of Family Physicians (published 1st May 2005) stated that:
“Treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism with levothyroxine may be of most benefit to patients with symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism.”
This seems to be in keeping with the general thinking around this topic. If you are currently suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism then this treatment will be beneficial. I would also strongly recommend some changes in diet to help the thyroid get up to optimal levels.

#1 – Thyromine
The results we got with Thyromine were a real surprise to us. We knew that the right blend of natural ingredients were effective in relieving the painful symptoms associated with an under active thyroid. But we never expected a product with all natural ingredients to be so effective.
Whilst no thyroid remedy will work instantly, some users report feeling and seeing results after just a week and a half. After 3 months of using Thyromine many people report increased energy levels, weight loss, thicker hair and better skin.
We’ve chosen Thyromine as our number 1 thyroid treatment because of it’s enormous success rate amongst users. The powerful blend of top quality ingredients works to soothe your symptoms naturally, allowing you to enjoy the benefits whilst avoiding the painful side effects of many other modern thyroid treatments.

#2 – Thyax
Thyax is packed with high quality all natural ingredients which combine to create a very effective thyroid treatment and that’s why it has received great reviews and praise from many trusted sources. Why did this product come 2nd? This product only made 2nd place in our rankings as users found it took slightly longer to feel and see results than they did with Thyromine (and Thyromine also gave better results).
If you’re looking for an under active thyroid treatment that brings increased energy and allows you to lose weight after a few months use then Thyax is a worthy choice.
#3 – Thyroid Complex
Thyroid Complex has been around for a while, and whilst many people swear by it, we found the results produced by the product did not match the standard of Thyromine (or even Thyax).
However, Thyroid Complex is an adequate product packed with top quality ingredients, which provides relief for many sufferers of hypothyroidism. Whilst we know this to be an effective product, it's only good enough to give Thyroid Complex the 3rd position in our top 3 picks.
