Product Notes:
A synergistic blend of antioxidants, medicinal herbs, and carefully selected marine sources of highly bioavailable iodine, this Hormone Specific Formulation has been specially designed to not only help support the thyroid gland's ability to produce thyroid hormones but also how well the various tissues throughout the body that are attuned to those hormones respond to them, and to help relieve the "brain fog" often associated with hypothyroidism.
As we age, our body begins to lose its speedy metabolic rate, thanks to a slowed production of the primary thyroid hormone (specifically, the conversion of T4 (thyroxin) to T3 (triidoothyronine)). That decrease may also be caused by frequent dieting. And if your metabolism had already struggled at an early age, keeping body fat and weight off later on can be quite difficult.
In addition to weight issues, other symptoms of improperly functioning thyroid glands can be coldness in the extremities, increased cholesterol and blood pressure, constant fatigue, and even depression. It can also bring about changes in your skin, hair, and nails, and reproductive functions.
To help restore optimal thyroid functioning and reverse such symptoms, ThyroMend addresses all seven of its stages:
- providing the iodine the gland needs to produce the hormones, in a readily usable form;
- helping the cells in the thyroid which use that iodine to take it up more efficiently;
- stimulating the actual production and secretion of the two hormones (T3 & T4) in the thyroid;
- promoting the ability of the liver cells and other cells to convert T4 into the more active T3;
- further enabling the thyroid receptor molecules to successfully attach themselves to the appropriate cells in your body, which can enhance various aspects of metabolic functioning (such as breaking down old cells and building back new ones), cardiovascular activity (heart rate, circulation, etc.) and blood sugar balance;
- enhancing the thyroid receptors ability to bind to DNA, which enables them to optimize the growth and development of new cells such as the thyrocytes involved in step 2;
- assisting the actual changes in gene expression the T3 induces throughout the body in order to maintain muscle control and influence cardiac, cognitive, digestive, and other functions.
