Daily Thyroid Support
The thyroid, responsible for countless hormonal functions, requires a delicate balance of minerals, amino acids, and vitamins for optimal performance. Obtaining the necessary components for normal thyroid function can be difficult on any diet. Daily Thyroid Support is designed to provide optimal nutrition, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals as well as adaptogens to influence and stimulate thyroid function.
- Supplies all raw materials that support a healthy endocrine system
- Vitamins and botanicals help the body efficiently utilize hormones
- Antioxidants and adaptogens help reduce hormonal stress
- Gives your body what it needs to make hormones
- Supports the conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3)
The Science
The thyroid is responsible for the production of important hormones, thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3) which in turn stimulates the production of additional hormones throughout the body. This process requires the absorption of trace mineral iodine and amino acid l-tyrosine from the bloodstream. Supplementing with iodine can support the thyroid to work more efficiently. The addition of zinc, copper, selenium, vitamin A, and the botanical guggulipid activate enzymes that enhance the conversion of T4 into active thyroid hormone T3. Vitamin A and zinc also help improve cellular sensitivity to thyroid hormones.
The activity of free radicals can compromise the natural conversion of T4 to active and useable T3. Free radicals are compounds that lack an electron and can cause oxidation by stealing electrons of cell membranes, lipid bilayers, and DNA. N-acetyl cysteine, a precursor to the body's master antioxidant glutathione, boosts thyroid health by accelerating antioxidant activity in the thyroid gland. Turmeric, along with the antioxidants vitamin C and E, has been shown to promote a healthy thyroid gland due to direct antioxidant activity. Stress can have a very profound impact on the thyroid. If too much cortisol is in the bloodstream it can slow the conversion of T4 into T3 and negatively impact overall hormone production.
By reducing stress and cortisol levels with powerful adaptogens like ashwagandha, the thyroid is further protected. Guggulipid (Commiphora mukul) has been shown to support thyroid function, primarily by decreasing lipid peroxidation in the liver, the principal site of T3 generation. Guggul extract has also been shown to have thyroid-stimulating action by increasing iodine uptake by the thyroid gland and increasing the activities of thyroid peroxidase and protease.
