The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland of perhaps twenty grams sitting across the front of the trachea, and its single job is to set the metabolic tempo of every cell you have. It does this by iodinating tyrosine — the amino acid — and releasing the result into the blood. It is the only organ in the body that uses iodine for anything, which is why the element has no other dietary purpose.
Thyroid is a glandular concentrate supplying 125 mg per capsule of bovine thyroid tissue sourced from New Zealand cattle, raised on pasture in a country with strict herd controls. The material is prepared as a nutritional concentrate.
Glandular preparations rest on a traditional premise in nutritional medicine: that tissue supplies the nutrients, peptides, and cofactors characteristic of the organ it came from. This one is used to support normal thyroid tissue and healthy metabolic function.
Two honest notes. Glandulars have a long clinical history and a thin research literature; the evidence is largely practitioner experience. And thyroid function is a domain where self-direction is unwise. Use this under the supervision of a physician who has seen your labs.
Hypoallergenic, with no diluents, binders, or fillers. Available in 60 capsules.
