Description

Thyroid Essentials features an all-natural thyroid support formula. It contains a synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals and herbs including selenium, iodine, manganese, copper, zinc, tyrosine, kelp, bladderwrack, schizandra berries, coleus forskohlii, and vitamin B12. Thyroid Essentials can support healthy thyroid function and fat burning.

Thyroid hormones are critical for processes relating to growth and development, as well as metabolic functions such as heartbeat and the burning of calories. Proper thyroid function requires adequate amounts of essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamin B12, iodine, selenium, manganese 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.
Bladderwrack (an algae) and kelp (a sea vegetable) have a high iodine content, which is essential for thyroid health. Lignan constituents in schizandra berries may protect the liver by activating antioxidant liver enzymes. Coleus forskohlii increases thyroid hormone production and promotes fat burning.
