Thiamine, B1, is one of the essentials for making the liver work efficiently. And a low thyroid function makes it impossible to use these B vitamins and protein, and so the liver, for any of these deficiencies, will fail to detoxify and allow estrogen to accumulate. The estrogen activates the mobilization of free fatty acids, exposes your arteries to more oxidative damage, while suppressing your thyroid function and creating a vicious circle. So I usually advocate eating a high, naturally rich in vitamin diet, and eggs and liver are probably the richest sources of all of the essential nutrients for liver function.
