Thyroid and Cardiovascular Health
Thyroid hormone controls the rate that oxygen is used at the cellular level to make energy. Your circulatory system is how oxygen is transported to cells. Thus, there is tremendous overlap between a healthy thyroid and cardiovascular system, and conversely, between a stressed thyroid and cardiovascular system.
Indicators of good health include a sense of feeling well oxygenated, reflected in very easy breathing and a head that feels quite awake. Numerous studies in the past year show the extreme importance of maintaining optimal thyroid function so as to support cardiovascular well being with the use of oxygen being a common theme. Additionally, stressed nerves directly irritate both systems, pushing them in the wrong direction (felt as a lack of stress tolerance, irritation, anxiety, racing heart, trouble sleeping, etc.).
Therefore, a relaxed and smooth feeling in your body, accompanied by easy breathing and an awake head, along with plenty of oxygen during exercise, are all signs of a good foundation of oxygen that enhances both thyroid and cardiovascular health.
High quality iron is vital for the transport of oxygen in your blood (Blood Booster, described in the section Quercetin, Vitamin D, Iron, Zinc, and Thyroid Function). Proper function of your hemoglobin also requires vitamin E (Daily Super E described in the Thyroid and Cholesterol section). The other two best nutrients that support oxygen status are Q10 (cellular and heart support) and Cardio Helper (overall circulatory support). RelaxaMag, Quercetin, and Sleep Helper all assist in a more relaxed feeling that is conducive to better oxygen utilization.*
Blood Booster™
Reduced price!Contains high quality iron bisglycinate. A lack of iron in cells can cause fatigue because iron is needed to implement the cellular response to thyroid hormone. Helpful for fatigue, vertical grooves in finger nails.*
Daily Super E™
Tocotrienols are the most potent and biologically active form of vitamin E, making Daily Super E™ a top cardiovascular health product. We have specially formulated a mix of alpha and gamma tocotrienol to give you the benefits of both of these potent nutrients. Alpha tocotrienols are absorbed into cell membranes 70 times better than plain vitamin E and protect cells of the circulation and cells lining arteries far better than plain E. Gamma tocotrienol is the best natural modulator of the enzyme HMG CoA reductase, the primary enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, something plain vitamin E does not do.*
Q10, Super CoQ10
Reduced price!Q10 enhances the use of oxygen in energy production within a cell, enabling thyroid hormone to carry out its primary function of regulating the rate of cellular oxygen utilization. Also helps fatigue with a heavy head (lack of oxygen to the brain).*
Q10, Super CoQ10 Ubiquinol
Reduced price!The ubiquinol form of Q10 is an excellent antioxidant nutrient that supports cellular energy production and cardiovascular health. Wellness Resources Q10 Ubiquinol is a completely soluble, crystal-free ubiquinol that shows high absorption and stability.*
Cardio Helper™
Reduced price!Cardio Helper™ includes the finest quality extracts of trans resveratrol, grape seed extracts, hawthorn, and horsechestnut. It is designed to support and enhance circulatory integrity and nourish your heart. By enhancing circulation, oxygen is more readily transported and made available to cells. This supports healthy blood pressure and effective delivery of nutrition to cells.*
RelaxaMag™
Reduced price!Contains the relaxing mineral magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. Glycine behaves as a relaxing neurotransmitter in your brain, an important nutrient that can help you relax and sleep better. Especially helpful for getting to sleep or relaxing the mind.
