ThyroVantage HT™

- Provides nutritional elements for healthy thyroid hormone formation
- Includes tyrosine and key minerals for thyroid function, including iodine, selenium, copper and manganese
- Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) and guggul extract stimulate thyroid function
- Pantothenic acid helps support the responsiveness of the adrenal glands
- Suitable for vegetarians/vegans
Subclinical hypothyroidism is present in 10% of the adult population and, if left untreated, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. As an adjunct to prescriptive treatment, ThyroVantage HT provides the nutrients necessary for healthy thyroid hormone production, including L-tyrosine, an important nutritional precursor of thyroxine (T4). It also provides catecholamines, such as norepinephrine and dopamine, as supplementation has been shown to alleviate periods of stress. Potassium iodide provides iodine, which is essential for the formation of thyroid hormones and is deficient in 15-23% of women.6, Iodine supplementation in women with iodine deficiency has been shown to reduce both TSH and cholesterol levels.
ThyroVantage HT includes two herbs known to stimulate thyroid function: Commiphora mukul, which improved T3 formation in animal studies, and Withania somnifera, which significantly improved TSH, T3, and T4 levels in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism in a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Selenium (as selenomethionine) is also included, as supplementation has been shown to reduce levels of thyroid autoantibodies (thyroid peroxidase) in adults, both when combined with levothyroxine and when administered alone. Pantothenic acid provides additional adrenal support, along with minerals. copper and manganese provide cofactor support for thyroid function.
