Thyroid Pro ~ 60 Capsules
Thyroid hormones are manufactured from iodine and tyrosine. With theadvent of iodized salt the incidents of iodine deficiency has been greatly
reduced in the United States.
However, deficiency is still possible in
those individuals that use salt substitutes, sea salt preparations and
/ or choose not to use salt in cases of hypertension or other medical
conditions. It has been estimated that 25 – 40% of the general adult
population suffers from moderate to severe hypothyroidism. This may
be due to poor nutrient value in the foods eaten or eating foods that
block the synthesis of thyroid hormone.
Tyrosine, which is synthesized
in the body from the amino acid phenylalanine, is a precursor of
thyroid hormones. It is associated with low blood pressure and low
body temperature, which are both indicative of hypothyroid condition.
Receiving sufficient amounts of tyrosine from the standard American
diet is very difficult; thus supplementation is usually indicated.
