NOW Thyroid Energy
Specialty Formulas. Supports and maintains healthy thyroid function. A source of minerals for the maintenance of good health. It is estimated that as much as 10% of the North American population may be suffering from abnormal thyroid function. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunctions is high in women. This female preponderance has been related to an increased susceptibility to autoimmune abnormalities. Thyroid malfunction has been associated with such varied conditions as postpartum depression, menstrual abnormalities, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), galactorrhea (non-lactating milky discharge), precocious or delayed sexual development, inexplicable sterility or habitual abortus and elevated cholesterol levels. Optimum thyroid function can provide for higher energy levels in the body by optimizing the metabolic rate of the body.
NOW Thyroid Energy is formulated with a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbs to take a multipronged approach to improving thyroid health. Tyrosine, Iodine (from Kelp), copper, zinc and ashwaganda help to improve thyroid metabolism, while guggul and irish moss have cholesterol lowering effects. Improved endothelial (blood vessel cell wall) function and decreased homocysteine levels are managed by a combination of B-vitamins.
