Michael's: Thyroid

Supports the body's normal metabolism and glandular function.* Provides the nutrients the thyroid needs to function properly with no glandulars, no stimulants and no jitters.* Contains iodine and chromium (ChromeMate) with gentian root and the amino acid tyrosine for their beneficial properties in the construction of thyroid hormones.* The thyroid, like every other gland, organ, or particular system of the body, requires very specific nutrients in order to function properly.* The thyroid absolutely needs iodine for its nutritional support.* Iodine is an integral part of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyrine and is rapidly absorbed and transported to the thyroid for synthesis.*

Other nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid include manganese: a mineral that is necessary for the production of thyroxine.* Thyroxine is one of the thyroid hormones that must be present for the regulation of basal metabolism.* Chromium is a mineral involved in carbohydrate, lipid (fats), and nucleic acid metabolism. Some trace minerals, like chromium, are essential for the proper function of enzymatic transactions. Tyrosine is an amino acid that is important to the health and functioning of the thyroid, as well as to the adrenal glands and pituitary.* Irish Moss, like Kelp, is high in Iodine.
