Product Education:

Clinical Benefits:Healthy thyroid function and metabolism: Iodine, selenium, zinc and vitamin E all play a significant role in the synthesis and regulation of thyroid hormones. Thyroxine (T4) has four molecules of iodine and is converted to the biologically active thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3) via the selenium dependant enzyme, iodothyronine deiodinase. Selenoproteins also play a protective role via detoxification of hydrogen peroxide (H202). Zinc and vitamin E also provide antioxidant activity via limiting lipid peroxidation and restricting free radical damage.

Beneficial during times of stress: Withania somnifera is an adaptogenic herb that has been shown to attenuate the negative effects of chronic stress by acting as a GABA mimetic agent by binding to GABA receptors. Withania also assists with energy production.

Warnings Caution: Consult with your doctor prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medications or have a medical condition. Keep out of the reach of children.

When taken in excess of 3000 μg retinol equivalents, vitamin A can cause birth defects. If you are pregnant, or considering becoming pregnant, do not take vitamin A supplements without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. The recommended daily amount of vitamin A from all sources if 700 μg retinol equivalents for women 900 μg retinol equivalents for men. This product contains selenium which is toxic in high doses. A daily dose of 150 μg for adults of selenium from dietary supplements should not be exceeded. Not all cautions and contraindications are listed.

What's in it 5 active ingredients

Iodine (as potassium iodide)

Potassium iodide

150mcg

Essential component of thyroid hormones T4 (thyroxine — 4 iodine atoms) and T3 (triiodothyronine — 3 iodine atoms). Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism globally.

Selenium (as selenomethionine)

Organic selenomethionine

150mcg

Required for iodothyronine deiodinase enzymes that convert T4 to active T3. Also provides antioxidant protection to the thyroid via glutathione peroxidase. Each tablet provides 150mcg — the loading dose included in this formula.

Zinc (as zinc citrate)

Zinc citrate

15mg

Required for thyroid hormone synthesis and for the action of thyroid hormone nuclear receptors. Zinc deficiency impairs both T4 production and T3 receptor binding.

Vitamin E (natural d-alpha tocopheryl)

d-alpha tocopherol

10mg

Fat-soluble antioxidant protecting thyroid cell membranes from the oxidative stress of thyroid hormone synthesis.

Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) extract

Standardised root extract

150mg extract (equiv. 750mg dry root)

Adaptogenic herb that supports the HPA axis stress response. Cortisol suppresses TSH and inhibits T4 to T3 conversion — ashwagandha's cortisol-moderating action supports normal thyroid function in people under chronic stress.

How to take it

Loading dose: 2 tablets twice daily with food. Maintenance dose: 1 tablet twice daily with food. Loading dose is typically used for the first 4-8 weeks then reducing to maintenance.
