Thyroid Micronutrient & Mineral Intake Calculator
A quick check of the nutrients your thyroid relies on most — selenium, iodine, zinc, iron, and vitamin D — and whether your diet is giving you enough of them.
Your thyroid uses iodine to build its T4 and T3 hormones, so it needs a steady supply.
Your body needs selenium to make the enzymes that activate thyroid hormone and help protect the gland itself.
Vitamin D helps keep your immune system in balance, which matters most when a thyroid condition is autoimmune.

What this means
Your diet is giving your thyroid what it needs to make its hormones and turn them into their active form. Getting 100 to 200 mcg of selenium a day from food also helps protect the gland from everyday oxidative stress.
