Thyroid Shield

The thyroid is critical for many functions in the body regulating your hormone system, your metabolism, body temperature and fertility. When your thyroid isn't functioning properly, we often see symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, dry skin, dry hair, constipation, sometimes infertility, and unexplained weight loss or difficulty losing weight. The solution is not to eat less and workout more. The solution is to find out what is going on with the thyroid and to protect your thyroid.

Hashimoto's is the most common autoimmune condition in the United States. It's when your immune system attacks your thyroid. You detect this by finding elevated thyroid antibodies such as TPO which is Thyroid Peroxidase or thyroglobulin. However, most doctors never check. All they check is TSH to see if you have hypothyroidism. You can have a normal TSH and still have Hashimoto's. As a result of this, people start taking supplements for their thyroid but they can actually make the problem worse since dumping high amounts of iodine on elevated antibodies increases the attack on that thyroid, which is going to lead to more destruction, possibly becoming permanent. Therefore, we have created iodine free thyroid support.

INGREDIENTS

• Selenium is a key ingredient to our formula and plays a critical role in thyroid function and autoimmune processes. Unfortunately, it's also a very hard nutrient to get from diet alone.
• Zinc has been widely used as a supplement for immune support. In this case it's also being used to aid in the absorption of selenium.
• Inositol supplementation has been used to support a very wide range of issues including sleep, female hormone health, and anxiety. Specifically, regarding Thyroid function, when combined with Selenium has been shown to restore the euthyroid state as well as improve the well-being of Hashimoto's patients.
• Rhodiola is an adaptogen that works with cortisol in the body to adapt to a stress response. A stress response could be manifesting in poor energy, tired but wired, or that mid-afternoon crash feeling. Cortisol also affects the absorption of thyroid hormones, which could lead to thyroid symptoms even if all your testing is normal.

HOW TO USE

The beauty of these ingredients is that they can absorb with or without food. If you have a sensitive stomach, I always recommend you take your supplements with food but it doesn't really matter with this product. Secondly, it is just as effective as you taking two pills at once or if you take two pills at once or take a pill two times a day. Either way, you do have to take the two pills daily to get the daily recommended nutrition to protect your thyroid.
