Thyroid Support with Zinc
Description
Thyroid Support with Zinc is a comprehensive vitamin, mineral and herbal formula designed to support healthy functioning of the thyroid gland
Functions
The thyroid gland produces and secretes thyroid hormones, mostly T4 (inactive) and small amounts of T3 (active). When needed, T4 is typically converted in the liver, kidney and other tissues to active T3. The primary action of thyroid hormone is to raise the body's metabolic rate — that is, to increase the rate of oxygen consumption and energy expenditure. Thyroid hormone is also essential for normal growth and development in children, interacts with other hormones to modulate carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, and controls other important biological functions. Thyroid Support with Zinc provides the amino acid tyrosine and the mineral iodine (from kelp) — essential structural components of triiodothyronine (T3). Selenium is included as an essential cofactor for the enzymes that convert inactive T4 (thyroxine) into the active T3 (triiodothyronine). Also included are Ayurvedic herbs traditionally used to support thyroid health, including Commiphora mukul (Gugulipid®) and Bacopa monniera (Bacopin®)
Indications
Thyroid Support with Zinc may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to support healthy functioning of the thyroid gland
