Pregnant women with hypothyroidism must be supplemented with iodine, whether it is iodine deficiency hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, iodine should be supplemented during pregnancy; In particular, Hashimoto's hypothyroidism is iodine deficient from the point of view of the disease itself, but it needs iodine supplementation from the point of view of fetal intellectual development.

Because the fetus has not formed its own thyroid gland in the first trimester, the thyroid hormone needed for brain development can only come from the mother. When hypothyroidism occurs, the fetus will not get enough nutrition. Similarly, the fetus in the third trimester needs iodine as raw material to form its own thyroid.

Therefore, hypothyroidism pregnant women must supplement iodine. For the intellectual development of the fetus, zinc and selenium should be supplemented at the same time, which is helpful for hypothyroidism and beneficial to the fetus.

So how to supplement iodine? It is recommended to take zinc, selenium and iodine tablets to supplement this.

Zinc-selenium-iodine tablets contain three elements: zinc, selenium and iodine, which are more convenient and quick to supplement, save a lot of time, absorb better and have no side effects.

More importantly, it has high security. For example, using iodized salt to supplement iodine can easily cause pregnancy-induced hypertension. If supplemented with kelp, it is easy to cause heavy metal poisoning, which is not good for pregnant women.
