Description

Progressive Health's Thyax is a high-potency supplement designed specifically for people with underactive thyroid disease, or hypothyroidism. This all-natural formula contains a synergistic blend of nutrients such as tyrosine, phenylalanine, B-vitamin compounds, iodine, zinc, copper and selenium. Whether used alone or in combination with conventional treatment, Thyax works to restore normal thyroid hormone balance, relieve hypothyroid symptoms and promote thyroid health.

In hypothyrodism, the thyroid gland produces insufficient amounts of two important thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones are critical for processes relating to growth and development, as well as metabolic functions such as heartbeat and the burning of calories. The nutrients in Thyax provide nutritional support for T3 and T4 production and optimal thyroid health.

Iodine, selenium and zinc are trace minerals necessary for the production and conversion of thyroid hormones. Studies suggest that treatment with zinc, iodine and selenium can help improve thyroid function and symptoms of hypothyroidism. Since zinc supplementation can result in a copper deficiency, copper is also included in Thyax.

Thyax's B-vitamin compounds include the essential water-soluble vitamins thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and vitamin B12.
Each of the B vitamins is essential for many body functions and vital for optimum health. The B vitamins work together to support bodily functions that produce energy and form the fuel the body runs on - adenosine triphosphate (ATP). They also reduce levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid associated wtih heart disease. Since hypothyrodism patients have higher blood levels of homocysteine, supplementing with B vitamins can help lower homocysteine levels.

Tyrosine and phenylalanine are amino acids (protein building blocks). They are required for the production of thyroid hormones. Tyrosine and phenylalanine are also important precursors for neurotransmitters that affect the nervous system and hormone production. Tyrosine and phenylalanine supplementation build neurotransmitter levels in the brain and promote energy and enhance alertness.
