THYROID FUNCTION

The thyroid gland is a very small organ that resembles a butterfly and is located in the front of the neck. It plays an important role in the body's overall health. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy, and other body activities, making thyroid health essential for your overall health. It produces both T3 and T4, which are two very important hormones. These hormones affect metabolism, body temperature, heart rate, and even brain function. For children, thyroid hormones are responsible for growth and development.

Thyroid disorders can cause hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Both Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease are autoimmune thyroid conditions that affect a significant number of people. Iodine, L-Tyrosine, Ashwagandha, selenium, zinc, and vitamin D can optimize thyroid function. While prescription drugs and lifestyle changes are usually the main therapy, natural supplementation has been found to be extremely beneficial. Dr. Guberman offers thyroid health supplements to help support and optimize your thyroid function.

Pure Encapsulations Thyroid Support Complex is a comprehensive thyroid support formula that contains vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts to nourish and support thyroid gland function. Healthy vitamin A, vitamin D, zinc, and selenium status have been associated with maintaining healthy thyroid cell metabolism as well as triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormone function. Kelp contains nutrients and minerals that support the thyroid, particularly iodine. Iodine and l–tyrosine are key components in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Coleus extract contains forskolin, which has been shown to promote adenylate cyclase activity, supporting thyroid hormone metabolism. It may also promote healthy lean body composition. Research indicates that ashwagandha and guggul are also key factors for helping to sustain healthy thyroid function. Doubling as powerful antioxidants, vitamins A and C, selenium and guggul combine with curcumin to neutralize free radicals that affect iodothyronine 5'–monodeiodinase enzyme activity, the limiting factor in the conversion of T4 to the more active T3 hormone.

Iodine is a very important element. Iodine is needed by many body parts, even though its main job is to help the thyroid gland make thyroid hormones. High Potency Iodoral®  is an iodine/potassium iodide supplement that supplies elemental iodine. Iodoral® comes in 12.5 mg or 50 mg tablets.

Thyrosol® promotes optimal thyroid function by delivering essential nutrients for thyroid hormone synthesis, aiding in T4 to T3 conversion. Thyrosol® positively influences hormone metabolism, especially in stressful conditions. Additionally, it may boost T3 receptor binding to DNA, supporting the expression of genes responsive to thyroid hormones.

Supplements can improve thyroid health, but they should not substitute medicine or medical guidance. Working with an endocrinologist or certified dietitian to find the proper thyroid supplements is essential. These professionals can help you choose supplements, track your progress, and enhance thyroid function safely and effectively. Keep in mind that thyroid health requires a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Guberman is here to help by offering top-of-the-line supplementation to support your thyroid. Shop with us today!
