Nutrilite products may be helpful for general health issues, but they will not substitute for the specific treatment needed for the thyroid. She needs to follow her doctor's direction on the treatment for her thyroid. The dose of thyroid medication may need to be changed from time to time. That is why she needs to continue following with her doctor and get regular checkups and blood tests for the thyroid. She can use the Nutrilite products in addition but NOT in place of the thyroid medicine. Hope this helps.
