How Does It Work?:
Under the direction of the
pituitary gland (the body's master gland), the thyroid regulates all
metabolic processes. The thyroid gland absorbs
iodine and combines it with the
amino acid L-tyrosine to produce the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T3) and
triiodothyronine (T4). Once released into the bloodstream, T3 and T4 are
transported throughout the body to regulate body weight, energy level, muscle
strength, skin health, menstrual cycle, memory, heart rate, cholesterol level,
and many other important functions. Research has shown healthy thyroid function
is important for immune and cardiac health, as well as healthy aging.
The following table discusses the benefits of each of the ingredients in
Metabolic Advantage Thyroid Formula
| Ingredient |
Benefit |
| Vitamin B12 |
This essential nutrient supports healthy
human energy production.† Vitamin B12 helps support
metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. |
| Iodine |
Unlike iron and other minerals, iodine is
not conserved in the body. Therefore, it must be regularly obtained from the
diet. Combining L-tyrosine with iodine the thyroid makes the thyroid
hormones - thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) to meet demands of
metabolism. |
Magnesium
Zinc
Copper
Manganese
Molybdenum |
Adequate levels of these five essential
minerals are required for many endocrinological processes, including support
of healthy thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabolism. |
| L-Tyrosine |
This important amino acid is combined with
iodine for the production of thyroid hormones - thyroxine (T4) and
triiodothyronine (T3). |
| Multi-Glandular Complex |
Glandular extracts provide nutritional
support for healthy metabolism and immune system responses. |
| Thyroid (thyroxin-free) |
Thyroid extracts provide nutritional
support of healthy thyroid function. |
