Product Description
Benefits: Providing the building blocks of thyroid hormones: • L-Tyrosine is an essential component of thyroid hormones, and helps support the production of hormones that affect mood, energy level and stress response.* • Kelp provides a natural source of the trace mineral iodine, an essential component of thyroid hormones. • Vitamins B6 and C are cofactors required for the body's natural production and metabolism of tyrosine.* Increasing thyroid hormone receptor function and sensitivity: • Zinc plays an important role in the structure of thyroid hormone receptors, allowing for efficient binding and function of thyroid hormones. Improving thyroid hormone conversion and activation: • Selenium is an essential cofactor for the deiodinase (removes iodine) enzymes responsible for converting inactive T4 (thyroxine) into the active T3 (triiodothyronine) hormone, which takes place mostly in the liver and kidney, but in other tissues as well. • Copper is an essential cofactor for the enzyme responsible for iodination (addition of iodine) of tyrosine to form thyroid hormones. Additional support for metabolic function and moderating the stress response: • Folic acid along with B6 help support homocysteine metabolism; elevated homocysteine levels have been shown to affect normal, healthy thyroid function.* • Thyroid hormone is intimately associated with regulation of energy production and mitochondrial function, both of which require adequate magnesium.* • Ashwagandha contains active compounds known as withanolides which have been shown to promote healthy thyroid and adrenal gland function. This herb is an effective adaptogen, helping the body better respond to stress; stress being a critical factor affecting normal, healthy thyroid function.* *These statements have not been evaluated by The Food and Drug Administration.
