Our thyroid might be small, but it sure does demand a whole bunch of nutrients to function at its best.

Iodine in thyroid:

The daily Recommended Dietary Allowance for iodine is 150 micrograms for adult men and women, 220 micrograms for pregnant women, and 290 micrograms for lactating women.

Go for natural iodine sources. Iodine is found mainly in animal protein foods and sea vegetables, and to a lesser extent in fortified foods like breads, cereals, and milk.
You can try Seaweed like nori, kelp, kombu, and wakame
Fish, shellfish like cod, canned tuna, oysters, and shrimp
Choose iodized table salts
Dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt
Eggs
Beef liver
Chicken and
Fortified infant formula

Selenium in thyroid function:

Selenium! It protects our dear thyroid from nasty oxidative stress. You can include selenium rich foods in your diet like Brazil nuts, tuna, sardines, eggs and legumes

Recent research also hints that some people with hypothyroidism, specially people with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis might benefit from selenium supplements. BUT always, and I mean ALWAYS, check with your healthcare professional before diving into supplements.

The National Institutes of Health has identified 400 mcg of selenium
 as the daily upper limit for adults. Chronically high intake of selenium can cause symptoms like hair and nail loss, diarrhea, nausea, and skin rashes.

ZINC! Your thyroid's Best friend. Not getting enough zinc can negatively affect your thyroid function and many other aspects of health, so it’s essential to get enough of this nutrient in your diet.

When used alone or combined with other nutrients like selenium and vitamin A, zinc supplements may help improve thyroid function in those with hypothyroidism.

If you’re interested in taking a zinc supplement, talk with a healthcare professional. Otherwise you can include zinc rich foods in your diet like, meat, shellfish, Legumes, Seeds, Nuts and peanuts, dairy products, eggs, whole grains and dark chocolate.

In addition to the nutrients listed above, there are other vitamins and minerals that people with hypothyroidism should be mindful of:

Vitamin D: People with hypothyroidism are more likely to be deficient in vitamin D. Having low vitamin D levels can negatively affect thyroid function and worsen hypothyroid symptoms.

Because vitamin D isn’t concentrated in many foods, supplementation is often necessary.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is also common among people with hypothyroidism. Talk with a doctor about testing your B12 levels. If your levels are low or suboptimal, a doctor can recommend a B12 or B-complex supplement.

You can also include vitamin b12 rich foods in your diet, like:
Organ meat,
Clams,
Sardines,
Beef, particularly steaks,
Fortified cereals,
Fish such as tuna, trout and salmon,
Fortified soy milk and eggs.

Low or deficient magnesium levels are associated with thyroid dysfunction and can increase the risk of developing hypothyroidism. Supplementing with magnesium has been shown to improve hypothyroid symptoms.
Try to include magnesium rich foods in your diet. There are several options like, dark chocolate, avocados, nuts, legumes, tofu, seeds like flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds, bananas and leafy green vegetables.

Iron deficiency is common in women with hypothyroidism. Low iron levels or iron deficiency anemia can impair thyroid function. Supplementation is often necessary to reach and maintain healthy iron levels. It is not always a good idea to depend on iron supplements because they come with different side effects, such as constipation, nausea, heartburn. It is better to include some iron rich foods in your diet, like:
Shellfish,
Spinach,
Liver and other organ meats,
Legumes,
Red meat,
Pumpkin seeds,
Quinoa and,
Broccoli,

But there’s more! Vitamin A, Folate, Calcium, and protein also play pivotal roles.
Well, This might seem overwhelming, but remember, the key is balance!
