I think you are confusing Thyroid replacement with something else--with thyroid hormone replacement, there is no detrimental effect on bones, etc. It is important if your thyroid is underactive that you DO get thyroid hormone in order to maintain proper nervous function and bone mass.
If this supplement to which you refer is iodine based or kelp, it is the worst thing to take if you happen to have an autoimmune form like Hashimoto's. Be careful with supplements.
