The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating the body’s metabolic rate and energy production, which affects virtually every tissue and cell, as well as helping to promote a positive mental outlook. Your body relies on the thyroid gland for fat burning and sugar metabolism; it also affects brain development and cognitive function, bone metabolism, intestinal function, and healthy skin, hair and eyes.
Like all of our glands, the thyroid needs supportive nutrients from food or supplements for it to function properly. Proper levels of the critical hormones cortisol and insulin must also be maintained in order for the thyroid to function properly. Cortisol is our stress-fighting hormone, while insulin is needed to regulate blood glucose.

Here’s What to take and Why
Comprehensive Thyroid Support Formula
Why should I take it?
American Ginseng root — Helps support a normal response to stress, normal blood glucose
metabolism, along with a balanced conversion of thyroid hormone.*
Coleus Forskohlii extract — Promotes the proper function of TSH, a hormone which stimulates the synthesis and secretion of T3 and T4 thyroid hormones.* This herb also supports the normal breakdown of body fat to use as energy.*
Selenium — This mineral is a key constituent in the conversion of T4 to the more active T3. Additionally, selenium supports the generation of a very powerful antioxidant known as glutathione, and reduces the effects of free radicals and mercury to the thyroid gland.*
Potassium Iodide — A source of iodine. Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones
and is necessary for normal thyroid function. If the body is deficient in iodine, the thyroid will have trouble making enough thyroid hormone. Potassium is included as it is necessary for getting thyroid hormones into our cells, and is a critical electrolyte needed for healthy cellular function.*
Tyrosine and Copper — Support the natural production of “feel good” compounds such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which promote a healthy mood.* Tyrosine is also the amino acid building block from which thyroid hormone is synthesized.
Chromium, Zinc and Manganese — These minerals are needed for support of the thyroid gland by supporting the metabolic pathways that maintain insulin, glucose and cholesterol regulation.*

Methylated B12
Why Should I take it?
B12 plays an important role in red blood cell metabolism which is responsible for blood oxygen levels and can be affected by thyroid issues. B12 also increases your energy production and strengthens your nervous system. The methylated form of B12 is more readily absorbed in the body because it is similar to the form of B12 found in food sources.

Vitamin D3
Why Should I take it?
There is increasing evidence that suggests that low levels of Vitamin D3 may play a role in thyroid disorders (1) . Other studies have shown that Vitamin D3 supplementation can significantly lower anti-thyroid antibodies (2)
