Authors focus mainly on vitamin D and selenium function in the body, metabolism, serum concentration in patients, replenishment outcome after singular or combined the treatment and dose. Vitamin D is essential for immune regulation and yields inflammatory properties. Selenium plays an important role in thyroid metabolism by protecting it from oxidative damage during iodine metabolism and by taking part in thyroid hormone production. Hashimoto is a complex disease and cross-curricular therapies probably will find more interest than one-way therapy. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jfnr/7/8/6/jfnr-7-8-6.pdf cholecalciferol calcitriol hypothyroidism myo-inositol antithyroid antibodies selenomethionine
