Yes. Lemon blocks the antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, hence normalizing an overactive thyroid.

I recently got my full body blood tests back, and while most results seem alright, my Vitamin D level is at 6 and Vitamin B12 is at 160. I don't really have the typical symptoms associated with these deficiencies, but I'm kind of concerned and want to address them. Any advice on what I should do?

For Vitamin D deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Caltrate" or "Nature Made Vitamin D3". For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as "Nature Made Vitamin B12" or "Solgar Methylcobalamin". It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper dosage and duration of supplementation.
