Thyroid Pro

WHAT REDEFINED VITAMINS® SAYS ABOUT Thyroid Pro: Nutritional Support for the Thyroid Thyroid hormones are manufactured from iodine and tyrosine. With the advent of iodized salt the incidents of iodine deficiency has been greatly reduced in the United States. It has been estimated that 25 – 40% of the general adult population suffers from moderate to severe hypothyroidism. This may be due to the poor nutrient value in the foods eaten, or eating foods that block the synthesis of thyroid hormone. Tyrosine, which is synthesized in the body from the amino acid phenylalanine, is a precursor of thyroid hormones. Receiving sufficient amounts of tyrosine from the standard American diet is very difficult, thus supplementation is usually indicated. How THYROID PRO Works: The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland with a sizeable role in the body. Its primary function is the production of essential thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). T4 is converted to T3 by the body. B
