 Supporting Thyroid During Pregnancy
Thyroid hormone works overtime during pregnancy. It sets the pace for your baby's growth and development, as well as the pace for the formation of all the hormones required to sustain a healthy pregnancy. In a sense, pregnancy is a true test of your thyroid system. It is important to understand your risks for pregnancy-related thyroid distress. The first symptoms you are likely to notice are poor mood, a heavy head at times of the day, fatigue, constipation, and feeling too cold. Any or all of these symptoms may occur and must be corrected as soon as they are noticed. Some women have a history with thyroid-related symptoms, others have none prior to pregnancy. It is common that women whose mothers have thyroid issues will experience them during pregnancy -- often for the first time. A poor dieting history and currently being overweight also sets the stage for thyroid-related pregnancy stress. Iosol Iodine, as mentioned above, is the most basic support for thyroid function during pregnancy. We often add Thyroid Helper® and Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™ to naturally support thyroid function. Daily Energy is needed anyway, as a prenatal vitamin. It also helps all your cells produce energy, which is what thyroid hormone is trying to get them to do.* Thyroid Helper® is a unique thyroid support supplement that helps activate your natural production of thyroid hormone while protecting your liver and thyroid gland from the increased activity of thyroid hormone needed for pregnancy. When thyroid hormone runs faster during pregnancy -- sparks fly (otherwise known as free radicals). You must have adequate nutrients to sustain accelerated thyroid hormone function -- otherwise things start grinding to a slower pace -- especially your mood and energy. Thyroid Helper® is also in the Leptin Control Pack® -- for more comprehensive nutrient support. Thyroid Helper® may be used before and during pregnancy. 2-3 capsules per day is a common dose. Use enough to support your mood and energy.*
