Iron deficiency and hypothyroidism
Iron is needed to produce thyroid hormone. Studies show that there is a correlation between hypothyroidism and iron deficiency, where people with an impaired thyroid gland have lower iron levels on average than healthy people.. More research is needed to determine whether it is an imbalance in the thyroid gland that causes low iron levels or whether iron deficiency may be one of the underlying causes of the imbalance. Regardless of which is the chicken or the egg, it may be worth having both your iron stores and thyroid function checked.
