Thyroid Pro ~ 60 Capsules

Thyroid hormones are manufactured from iodine and tyrosine. With the

advent 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.
