I have an underactive thyroid and take thyroxine.
When i take vitamin c (250mg) my thyroid levels seems to go up, and i get hyper-thyroid symptoms.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Has anyone had similar experience?

Vit C is involved in the hormone synthesis of norepinephrine & thyroxin



That's why Vit C a water-soluble vitamin accummulates 10- 50 times in the blood plasma in the thyroid gland. which produces the thyroxine.

For those of you who are reading this, and feel you only have one minute to spare, here's the short version: be sure to take a strong multivitamin with minerals along with a couple of grams of Vitamin C each day. This has to be high-quality, such as can be purchased from reputable health food stores, as opposed to some of the larger national drug store brands in the same category as Centrum or Centrum Silver. Most nationally-advertised multiple vitamins sold in drugstores do not have the potency nor the bioavailability that thyroid sufferers need.

For those who have the time to read on, there are two general categories of need that we would like to describe. The first is those folks who have reasonable health, and who are looking to cover the major nutritional bases in terms of thyroid hormone synthesis and utilization. For these people, we can describe the nutrients that researchers tell us are crucial for proper thyroid function.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you’re unlikely to be able to feel it.
All types of hyperthyroidism are due to overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can develop in several ways.
Thyroid hormone production can be suppressed or halted completely in these ways: https://tr.im/B4KYK

Your question shouldn't be about vitamin C... your question should be about nutrition in general. Stop eating **** food and cleanse your body.
