Ingredients explained
Iodine (from kelp)
Iodine is required to form thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which help regulate metabolic activity throughout the body.
Caution: Consider total iodine intake from diet and supplements to avoid excess, which may be uncomfortable for sensitive thyroids.
L-Tyrosine
L-tyrosine is an amino acid precursor used with iodine to build thyroid hormones and also supports production of catecholamine neurotransmitters.
Caution: May be stimulating for some people or interact with thyroid-related regimens; avoid close to bedtime if sensitivity to stimulation.
Selenium (from selenomethionine)
Selenium is a cofactor for deiodinase enzymes that convert T4 to T3 and for antioxidant enzymes that help protect thyroid tissue.
Caution: High selenium intake from multiple sources may cause unwanted effects like digestive upset; keep total daily intake moderate.
Zinc (from zinc oxide)
Zinc participates in thyroid hormone receptor function and supports enzymes involved in hormone metabolism and cellular signaling.
Caution: Zinc on an empty stomach may cause nausea; long-term high-dose zinc can affect copper balance.
Coleus forskohlii (standardized to 10% forskolin) (root)
Forskolin activates adenylate cyclase to increase cAMP, a messenger that may influence thyroid signaling and metabolic activity.
Caution: May lower blood pressure or interact with blood-thinning and certain respiratory medications; monitor tolerance and use with food.
How they work together
Iodine and L-tyrosine provide the raw materials needed to build thyroid hormones, while selenium and zinc support hormone conversion and receptor activity. Coleus forskohlii influences cellular signaling through cAMP, complementing nutrient support for normal thyroid-related pathways.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Avoid use if you have or have had low blood pressure, a blood coagulation disorder, or gastric ulcers. Do not use with prescription medications, especially blood pressure, blood-thinning, or anti-asthmatic medications. Stop use two weeks before surgery.
Who should be cautious: People with thyroid conditions, heart rhythm concerns, or sensitivity to stimulants may need extra caution due to iodine, zinc, L-tyrosine, and Coleus forskohlii. Those with shellfish allergies should note it may contain traces of crustacean shellfish. If taking medications that may interact, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
