Thyrostim™
Why you may need Thyrostim™: The thyroid gland is actually a collection of individual glands called
follicles. Here, newly synthesized hormone is secreted prior to release into the bloodstream. In general, thyroid
hormones refer to T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). Though T4 is the main product, T3 is 3 to 4 times
more active. T4 (with 4 atoms of iodine) is converted to T3 (with 3 atoms of iodine) via peripheral tissues,
especially the liver and lung. Several factors, including low metabolic rate, falling blood pressure, and
conditions that increase the need for energy such as a cold environment, hypoglycemia, pregnancy, or high
altitude, stimulate the secretion of thyroid hormones. Varying degrees of low thyroid function are routinely
detected by laboratory tests and other measures.
Why your healthcare practitioner recommends Thyrostim™: The manufacture of thyroid hormones
Thyrostim™’s broad spectrum formula was designed to provide these
key nutrients. Take iodine for example; the common form of iodine in foods is iodide. At maximal activity,
the thyroid can contain up to a 300-fold greater concentration of iodide than blood levels. Cells oxidize iodide
to organically bound iodine, which is then chemically combined with tyrosine, an amino acid that is a protein
building block. Each molecule of thyroid hormone contains the equivalent of two tyrosine molecules. Many
other key nutrients are supplied by Thyrostim™ as well, such as selenium and magnesium, which are essential
for healthy thyroid function. As always, you can count on Biotics Research Corporation to bring you “The Best
