Simple Case Thyroid Problems

A common problem is that your thyroid lacks nutrients to make basic thyroid hormone, known as T4 (thyroxin), or you may lack key nutrients that help convert T4 to the biologically active T3. Your thyroid can be inflamed or stressed, which gets in the way of making T4 at an optimal rate. And your liver can be inflamed or stressed, which gets in the way of converting T4 to T3 at an optimal rate. Cells around your body require basic nutrition to carry out the metabolic instructions that T3 is giving them; otherwise it is no different than not having enough T3.

Any or all of these simple-case thyroid problems can be addressed with nutrition. Optimal nutrition can enhance the formation of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland, enhance the activation of T4 to the biologically active T3, and enhance the nutritional ability of cells to utilize thyroid hormone. I have designed various dietary supplements to fill these specific needs.

Thyroid Helper^® provides the selenium needed by your liver to convert T4 to T3. Manganese is also provided to boost specific antioxidant enzymes inside your thyroid gland and in your liver, so that both organs can function in a less stressed and inflamed manner. Tyrosine is added to boost dopamine and nerve related thyroid formation, as well as providing the core molecule of thyroid hormone (T4 is one molecule of tyrosine surrounded by four molecules of iodine). Several herbs that are synergistic with these functions are provided to round out the very popular Thyroid Helper formula.*

I recommend a water-soluble and extremely biologically active form of iodine called Iosol Iodine. It is one of the most popular supplements to help individuals warm up. Iodine is needed for thyroid hormone formation. Unlike potassium iodide which can clog the thyroid gland due to its poor solubility, Iosol readily washes away if it is not needed. It is hands down the best iodine on the market today.*

Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin^™ is a breakthrough in bioactive nutrients, containing all co-enzyme B vitamins and special mineral transporters. I designed this formula to enhance cellular uptake of vital nutrients to carry out the instructions of thyroid hormone within cells so that energy is actually made. It is free of the cheap cyanide-producing form of B12 known as cyanocobalamin. Cyanide metabolites are very hard on the thyroid -- only cheap vitamin companies put this low grade B12 in their products. Vitamin B12 and folic acid are especially important for the enzymes that make thyroid hormone. A lack of B12 is commonly found in those struggling with thyroid function (along with poor mood).*
