Provides nutrients necessary for thyroid hormone synthesis, including L-tyrosine and iodine.
Minerals such as selenium, zinc, manganese, and copper are required to properly activate thyroid hormones and improve receptor sensitivity. All are found in highly bioavailable forms, chelated with glycine.
Withania somnifera is added for cortisol modulation and its ability to positively regulate thyroid function.
Poor thyroid health has become one of the most common concerns in the developed world today. Poor diet, excessive stress, and polypharmacy all contribute to the growing concern of low thyroid function. Thyroid Matrix is a blend of nutrients designed to address all of these factors.
Selenium is crucial for the proper conversion of the less active thyroid hormone, thyroxine (T4), into the metabolically active triiodothyronine (T3). Without selenium, the metabolically inactive reverse T3 (rT3) is created instead, putting our bodies in a metabolically disadvantageous state. Zinc, iodine, manganese, and copper are also necessary for the proper production of thyroid hormones, while zinc is also particularly important for increasing the sensitivity of thyroid receptors. All of these minerals are in highly bioavailable forms, fully chelated with glycine for optimal stability and absorption.
L-tyrosine is the amino acid that makes up thyroid hormones. It is the same amino acid needed to make our anti-stress hormone, cortisol, and neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Studies have shown that supplementation can improve cognition during times of stress, reduce thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and increase serum free T3. The inclusion of L-tyrosine in Thyroid Matrix is essential for dual thyroid and adrenal support.
Finally, we have Withania somnifera, also known as ashwagandha. This herb is best known for its adaptogenic properties and its ability to improve performance during times of stress. However, ashwagandha is a unique adaptogenic herb in that it has a specific affinity for supporting thyroid function, which has been shown to increase thyroid hormone secretion in animal studies.
Collectively, Thyroid Matrix supports thyroid health and thyroid hormones on multiple levels, allowing for a gentle yet effective approach to an under-functioning thyroid.
