Thyroid Support
Overview
Don’t settle for feeling tired and stressed... Nourish your body with Thyroid Support!
This targeted blend supports thyroid health and function and helps regulate its natural processes...that includes a healthy metabolism.
Thyroid Support offers comprehensive, out-of-the-box nourishment for the thyroid gland, including L-tyrosine, vitamin B6 and kelp, combined with essential minerals required for the manufacturing of thyroid hormones.
Thyroid Support also provides powerful bovine glandular extracts, enzymes, and herbs to ensure optimal intake, absorption and utilization of key nutrients that may help healthy thyroid hormone regulation and function.
Your thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck, is responsible for producing hormones that regulate your body's energy use, along with many other essential functions.
Thyroid hormones regulate many body functions, including oxygen use, basal metabolic rate, cellular metabolism, body temperature, digestion, heart and brain function, bone health, muscle strength, and the growth of hair follicles, skin cells and nail beds.
Your thyroid gland needs iodine to make thyroxine (T4), a hormone your body uses for several daily functions. The most common cause of low or sluggish thyroid functioning is too little iodine in the diet. Many people experience low-iodine thyroid issues which can include low appetite, mood problems, weight changes, and more.
Use Thyroid Support to help nourish the thyroid gland, buffer the effects of stress and fatigue, and support your metabolism.
Benefits
- Support thyroid health & function
- Promotes healthy metabolism
- Supports the glandular system
How It Works
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 plays a role in thyroid health by participating in the production of thyroid hormones. Vitamin B6 also influences the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, which regulate the release of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Insufficient levels of vitamin B6 can affect the thyroid gland's ability to produce thyroid hormones.
Zinc
Zinc is key to hundreds of important functions, including sugar and protein metabolism, DNA formation, energy production, and immune system function. Zinc acts as a co-factor for important enzymes that contribute to the proper functioning of the antioxidant defense system. Zinc is also needed for the production and optimal activity of thyroid hormones. Without zinc, the thyroid gland cannot transform the inactive hormone T4 into the active hormone T3 (triiodothyronine).
Copper
Copper plays an important role in thyroid metabolism, especially in hormone production and absorption. Copper helps maintain optimal thyroid gland function and stimulates production of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (also known as T4). Copper also supports strong and healthy bones, proper nervous system function, and lipid (fat) metabolism. Plus, copper works together with zinc for healthy hair growth.
Manganese
Manganese, a trace mineral, plays an important role in energy production, immune response, and antioxidant defense. Manganese is also required for thyroid health. It is essential for the production of thyroxine (T4), a key thyroid hormone, and it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect the thyroid from oxidative stress. Manganese is also linked to thyroid function through its influence on enzymes involved in thyroid hormone synthesis.
L-Tyrosine
L-tyrosine is an amino acid used in the production of vital brain chemicals that help control mood, including dopamine and norepinephrine. A lack of dopamine is linked to higher levels of apathy, depression and an inability to concentrate. Tyrosine also functions as a precursor to thyroid hormones and may play a role in supporting thyroid function. The thyroid gland uses tyrosine and iodine to create thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), the primary thyroid hormones.
Kelp
Kelp is a type of brown algae that is naturally rich in trace minerals, including potassium, zinc and iodine. Kelp is regarded as a natural thyroid stimulant that may help boost metabolism by supplying the thyroid gland with iodine and by increasing basal metabolic rate (the speed at which your body burns calories while at rest). Iodine has a direct effect on basal metabolic rate. By supporting healthy iodine levels, kelp may help improve sluggish thyroid function. Kelp also contains large amounts of potassium, and naturally varying amounts of trace minerals, which also contribute to proper glandular function and metabolism.
Glandular Extracts
The thyroid, pituitary and hyopthalamus glands all work together to maintain normal levels of thyroid hormones that are essential for the biological function of all tissues. Glandular extracts are nutritional supplements derived from the dried organ tissues of animals such as cows, sheep and pigs. Glandular supplements have been historically used to enhance the function or mimic the effect of specific glands or organs. Glandular extracts naturally contain vitamins, minerals, enzymes, peptides and other nutrients specific to each organ.
Nettle
Nettle has been used for more than 2,000 years for its nutritional and medicinal properties. Nettle leaves are abundant in fiber and are a nutritious source of antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals, including minerals that are crucial for thyroid hormone production such as iodine, iron, zinc, selenium, calcium, and magnesium. Nettle also contains vitamin A, which is vital in converting the inactive thyroid hormone T4 into its active form, T3.
Protease Blend
Protease, an enzyme that breaks down proteins, plays an important role in thyroid health by participating in the breakdown of thyroglobulin and the release of thyroid hormones. Thyroglobulin is a protein produced in the thyroid gland that serves as a storage site for thyroid hormones. The breakdown of thyroglobulin by protease enzymes is vital for the release of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) into the bloodstream. Protease enzymes also help increase nutrient absorption and support the immune, circulatory and digestive systems.
Ingredients
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate), Zinc (citrate), Copper (gluconate), Manganese (amino acid chelate), in a proprietary blend of L-tyrosine, Kelp leaf and stem, Thyroid substance, Nettle leaf, Protease blend, Pituitary substance, and Hypothalamus substance.
Quality
Great health supplements are designed with good-for-you ingredients. Like our kelp.
It’s a blend of two different seaweed varieties: Ascophyllum nodosum and Laminaria digitata. Both are rich in nutrients and bioactives.
Our kelp, is wild-harvested by hand in the North Atlantic Ocean. Skilled reapers enter the kelp “forests” in small paddleboats and harvest it using special rakes that allow them to cut off sections of kelp without damaging the plant to ensure sustainability, minimize environmental impact and protect the natural habitat.
Both of our kelp species are certified organic, non-GMO-verified and Kosher.
Recommended Use
Take 1 capsule with a meal twice daily.
