Thyroid

Thyroid function is a very poorly understood domain in the medical community and so we've set out to bring a significant improvement in clarifying what nutrients support the most optimal thyroid state. Its important to talk to a professional so that you can best tailor this mix to your personal situation in the ratio that would be most appropriate.

1. Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, making it crucial for thyroid function. An important detail is that our thyroid and body need both elemental iodine and potassium iodide for optimal function.

2. Selenium is a key component of enzymes involved in thyroid hormone metabolism and conversion, and it also has antioxidant properties that protect the thyroid gland from damage.

3. Zinc is involved in thyroid hormone production and regulation, as well as in thyroid receptor function.

4. Vitamin B12 is involved in thyroid hormone synthesis, conversion, and nerve health, supporting overall thyroid function.

5. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) plays a role in thyroid hormone metabolism and energy production. It is involved in the conversion of the inactive form of thyroid hormone (T4) to the active form (T3).

6. L-tyrosine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor for thyroid hormone synthesis. It is essential for the production of both T4 and T3 hormones.

7. Magnesium plays a role in thyroid hormone production and metabolism, as well as in enzyme reactions involved in energy metabolism.

8. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties that may protect the thyroid gland from oxidative damage.

9. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects and may help reduce inflammation in autoimmune thyroid conditions.

10. Iron: Iron is necessary for thyroid hormone synthesis, and iron deficiency can impair thyroid function. More importantly it is important to resolve iron metabolism with proper intake of copper. It also plays a role in the conversion of T4 to T3 and in the functioning of thyroid hormone receptors.

11. Vitamin D receptors are present in the thyroid gland, and vitamin D is involved in regulating immune function and may play a role in autoimmune thyroid disorders. Prefer Vitamin D from the sun.

12. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports immune function and may help reduce inflammation in the thyroid gland. Small amounts can be helpful for symptomatic relief during dosing of hydrogen peroxide cofactors like copper and manganese.

13. Manganese is a cofactor for enzymes involved in thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism. It also helps protect the thyroid gland from oxidative stress

14. Folate is involved in DNA synthesis and repair, and it plays a role in the regulation of thyroid function. It may also help reduce inflammation in autoimmune thyroid disorders.

15. Vitamin K is involved in bone health and may indirectly support thyroid function by promoting bone density, which is important for thyroid hormone production and metabolism.

16. Choline is a nutrient that supports liver function and lipid metabolism. It may indirectly support thyroid health by aiding in the metabolism of fats and cholesterol, which are involved in hormone synthesis.
