Welcoming and thank you for asking!
Rasberry ketone is not approved to treat hypothyroidism.
If you are not taking levothyroxine and the TSH level is 4.5, it means that partial thyroidectomy is done and the remaining thyroid works good.
If the TSH level has begun to lower, it is suggestive of an over active thyroid. It means that the remaining tissue has begun to over produce thyrpid hormones.
I would suggest to stop the Rasberry ketone, check the TSH, Ft4 and Ft3 level again.
If hyperthyroidism is confirmed you should start treatment.
Wish you good health.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
