A healthy thyroid gland not only acts as the body's thermostat, but it's also one of the major regulators of metabolism, including FAT BURNING for energy.
Optimal thyroid function can help improve energy levels, motivation, metabolism, healthy weight management and concentration.
Recommended supplements for improving thyroid function:
-Ashwagandha
is an adaptogenic herb, shown to support natural production of the thyroid hormone T4. In one study, researches found that 500mg per day of standardized ashwagandha extract enhanced T4 evels.
-Guggul
is an extract of Commiphora mukul, shown in one study to support the activity of the enzyme that converts T4 into the most actove thyroid hormone T3.
-Korean ginsegn
was found in one study to reduce levels of the inactive thyroid hormone-inhibiting reverse T3 (rT3) and support healthy T3 and T4 levels.
-Iodine and tyrosine which are required for thyroid hormone production
-Vitamin B12, a sufficient level of which is needed for healthy thyroid activity
-Vitamin A is an important nutrient for supporting healthy serum T3 (active) levels
If blood testing for thyroid function reveals less than optimal hormone levels, consult your physician for further evaluation.
