Description

NOW Thyroid Energy supports thyroid metabolism and fat loss goals. It includes iodine, vitamin B12, zinc, selenium, copper, guggul, kelp, Ashwagandha, Irish moss and tyrosine. Thyroid Energy provides complete nutritional support for healthy thyroid function.

Thyroid hormones are critical for processes relating to growth and development, as well as metabolic functions such as heartbeat and the burning of calories. Iodine is an essential part of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyrine. Kelp (a sea vegetable) and Irish moss (a red seaweed) have a high iodine content, which is essential for thyroid health.

Vitamin B12, iodine, copper, and zinc are necessary for the production and conversion of thyroid hormones. Since zinc supplementation can result in a copper deficiency, copper is also included. The amino acid tyrosine is required for the production of thyroid hormones.

The Ayurvedic herb guggul helps regulate the thyroid and support normal lipid (fat) levels. The herbal adaptogen Ashwagandha helps reduce stress and fatigue, enhance energy and stamina, normalize hormone function and support sexual health.
