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.

Technical Data
Description
Enzymatic Therapy's Thyrosine Complex provides superior nutritional support for healthy thyroid gland functioning.
† Research has demonstrated that optimal levels of iodine, vitamin B12, the amino acid tyrosine, glandular tissue, and trace minerals benefit the thyroid gland and enhance metabolism.
†1-4
Thyrosine Complex features:
- High quality glandular extracts
- Trace minerals for synergistic health support
- Scientifically studied nutrients
STRUCTURE/FUNCTION:
Thyrosine Complex enhances thyroid health, influences metabolism, and supports weight loss.
†
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.

Research has shown healthy thyroid function is important for immune and cardiac health, as well as healthy aging.

The following table discusses the benefits of each of the ingredients in
Thyrosine Complex
™
| 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:
Enzymatic Therapy's Thyrosine Complex provides optimal nutrition for proper thyroid gland functioning.
† By providing the exact nutrients the thyroid needs to make vital thyroid hormones,
Thyrosine supports healthy metabolism, energy production, and weight maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why has the ingredient statement for thyroid extract in the Thyroid and L-tyrosine product changed from 8X to 8 mg?
We have changed the ingredient statement on this label to comply with labeling regulations. The previous listing for thyroid substance listed a potency measurement - 8X. However, labeling laws require ingredients to be listed as a weight amount. Therefore, thyroid substance is now listed as an 8 mg amount. The extract is the exact same type and potency as before - it is just listed is a different measurement on the label.
