HERBAMEDICA THYROID CODE thyroid code with iodine x 30 caps
The Thyroid Code with Iodine formula includes the most important nutrients and plant extracts for a synergistic effect on gland health, detoxification, and providing energy for all systems.
Thyroid Code with Iodine is recommended for impaired metabolism, hormonal imbalance, hypothyroidism, fatigue and lack of energy, and weakened immunity.
COMPOSITION OF THYROID CODE WITH IODINE
Vitamins
- Vitamin B2 – Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is an important water-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant in the body. It is involved in energy production, participates in the methylation process, and protects against oxidative stress;
- Vitamin B12 /Methylcobalamin/ – This essential vitamin plays a role in many important areas of health, including helping convert food into energy and supporting nervous system health. It is involved in the Krebs cycle and the methylation process, making it extremely important for energy production;
- Vitamin D3 /Cholecalciferol/ – vitamin D acts as an immune modulator and more and more research points to the significant role of vitamin D in reducing the incidence of autoimmune diseases;
Minerals
- Zinc /Zn Bisglycinate/ – Zinc is directly linked to thyroid function. When zinc levels are low, TSH is not produced, which leads to low levels of the thyroid hormones T4 and T3;
- Manganese /Manganese gluconate/ – manganese has mechanisms for protecting against free radicals in the body, making it an important mineral for counteracting destructive processes and reactions in the body;
- Selenium /L- Selenomethionine/ – selenocysteines are involved in promoting the antioxidant function of glutathione and thioredoxin, which neutralize the toxic effects of free radicals. Selenium is of great importance for the production of thyroid hormones and must be taken in optimal amounts;
- Iodine – Iodine is an extremely important mineral for maintaining optimal thyroid hormones. When you consume iodine, it is quickly absorbed and enters your bloodstream. Your thyroid gland, which has small cells that capture circulating iodine, takes it in and oxidizes it so it can begin using it to create triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).
Amino acids and derivatives
- N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine – N-Acetyl L-Cysteine helps reduce thyroid antibodies. It also supports our detoxification pathways (which are commonly impaired in hormonal imbalances) and is quickly converted to glutathione once in the body;
- L-Tyrosine – an important amino acid (component of proteins) needed for the production of thyroid hormone. Without enough iodine or tyrosine, you cannot produce thyroid hormones;
Plant extracts
- Schisandra extract /Schisandra chinensis/ – Known as a popular adaptogenic herb, schisandra is used in Chinese medicine to promote overall health and vitality. It has strong antioxidant properties;
- Ashwagandha extract /Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal/ – when the body is stressed, the immune and nervous systems can be affected, causing a person to feel exhausted, which often happens with hormonal imbalance. Ashwagandha can help your body get an extra dose of energy and vitality;
- American ginseng extract /Panax quinquefolius L./ – this plant is an adaptogen and contributes to optimal levels of cortisol, glucose and insulin;
- Guggul extract /Commiphora mukul/ – the extract of this plant stimulates thyroid activity, working for the successful conversion of T4 to T3 and helping the body detoxify more effectively;
- Bubble seaweed extract /Fucus vesiculosus L./ – this type of seaweed is used in alternative medicine as a supplement (for weight loss and as a source of iodine) and in the treatment of thyroid disorders, especially hypothyroidism. It contains iodine and valuable minerals for thyroid function.
The function of the thyroid gland is to take in iodine, which is found in many foods and some supplements, and then convert it into the thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body that can absorb iodine. These cells combine iodine with the amino acid tyrosine to produce T3 and T4. T3 and T4 are then released into the bloodstream and transported throughout the body, where they control metabolism (the conversion of oxygen and calories into energy).
The functioning of the thyroid gland benefits the nervous system by harmonizing the pituitary-adrenal-thyroid axis and detoxifying the body.
