Thyroid Support contains the active nutrient Kelp (pure Kelp powder from seaweed). The Iodine rich content of Kelp means it is of great benefit to thyroid metabolism particularly as Iodine is one of the micronutrients known to be short in the diets of many.
L-Tyrosine is included as it is beneficial to have L-Tyrosine and Iodine ingested together in a form that can be immediately usable by the thyroid gland to promote the production of thyroid hormones. L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid, amino acids are the 'building blocks' of protein in the human body.
Thyroid Support includes Food State Selenium; a natural, organic form of the mineral. Selenium is a natural antioxidant and a key nutrient in helping support the functions of the immune system. Selenium is necessary for the production of 'prostaglandins' and as such plays an important role in maintaining thyroid functions and male fertility/ reproductive functions.
This wholefood supplement is made from minerals which have been hydroponically-grown into a cruciferous vegetable (brassica) that is a member of the broccoli family of vegetables. The brassica base also contains zinc, copper, potassium, calcium and magnesium and acts as a food base to aid absorption and metabolism of the nutrients.
Nature's Own Thyroid Support comes in a tablet form with each tablet including 300mg of Kelp (providing 150.0µg of Iodine for 100% RDA), 56.75µg of Selenium (103% RDA), 400mg L-Tyrosine, Manganese and Chromium
