People with Hashimoto's disease and elevated cholesterol levels should be especially careful in choosing supplements and medications. In your case, the endocrinologist recommended avoiding soy products, which is important because soy can affect the functioning of the thyroid gland and the absorption of iodine, which is crucial in the context of Hashimoto's.

Lipiforma Plus contains soy phytosterols, which are an ingredient that helps lower cholesterol levels. If your endocrinologist has advised you to avoid soya, then taking Lipiform Plus is inconsistent with these recommendations. Soy phytosterols have the potential to affect thyroid function, which can be problematic in the context of your diagnosis.

As a pharmacist, I can offer other over-the-counter cholesterol preparations without soy phytosterols:

I encourage you to consult again with the doctor who recommended Lipiforma Plus to discuss your concerns about soy and how it affects your health. The doctor will also help you choose the right preparation for your current health condition. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
