Overview

Why care about a healthy thyroid?
Your overall health depends on it:

Your thyroid gland manufactures thyroid hormone, which regulates the rate at which your body carries on its necessary daily functions.

It's in charge of your metabolism:

Since the thyroid gland regulates your metabolic rate, or how fast the body burns calories, it is important to consider your thyroid health when beginning any weight loss regimen.

STRUCTURE/FUNCTION:

How Does It Work?

Under the direction of the pituitary gland (the body's master gland), the thyroid regulates all metabolic processes. The thyroid gland absorbs iodine and combines it with the amino acid L-tyrosine to produce the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T3) and triiodothyronine (T4). Once released into the bloodstream, T3 and T4 are transported throughout the body to regulate body weight, energy level, muscle strength, skin health, menstrual cycle, memory, heart rate, cholesterol level, and many other important functions.¹ Research has shown healthy thyroid function is important for immune and cardiac health, as well as healthy aging.^5-7

The following table discusses the benefits of each of the ingredients in Metabolic Advantage Thyroid Formula ^™

Ingredient	Benefit
Vitamin B12	This essential nutrient supports healthy human energy production.† Vitamin B12 helps support metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.†8
Iodine	Unlike iron and other minerals, iodine is not conserved in the body. Therefore, it must be regularly obtained from the diet. Combining L-tyrosine with iodine the thyroid makes the thyroid hormones - thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) to meet demands of metabolism.†9
Magnesium Zinc Copper Manganese Molybdenum	Adequate levels of these five essential minerals are required for many endocrinological processes, including support of healthy thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabolism.†3, 10-12
L-Tyrosine	This important amino acid is combined with iodine for the production of thyroid hormones - thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).13
Multi-Glandular Complex	Glandular extracts provide nutritional support for healthy metabolism and immune system responses.†14
Thyroid (thyroxin-free)	Thyroid extracts provide nutritional support of healthy thyroid function.†15

Conclusion:
Our Metabolic Advantage Thyroid Formula provides optimal nutrition for proper thyroid gland functioning.^† By providing the exact nutrients the thyroid needs to make vital thyroid hormones, Metabolic Advantage Thyroid Formula supports healthy metabolism, energy production, and weight maintenance.^†
