Why someone with a functioning Hypothyroid would get carried away with D3 doesn't make any sense.
you are just spending money on expensive pee.
There is no such organ as a hypothyroid. Calcetrol? Do you mean Calcitriol? Why are you taking that AND calcium carbonate? Vitamin D3 is fat soluble, it is not excreted in urine. You've got a lot of reading to do, if you get there you may also find out why it is a good idea to supplement D3 (and just about everything else) even if your Thyroid (and other things) is just fine.
