Hypothyroid Support

Nutrients to support healthy thyroid function. 

Your body needs micronutrients to make thyroid hormones and to use them. This is true whether you have a thyroid or not, take thyroid medication or not. 

Ingredients

• Vitamin A (500 mcg): Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for normal vision, the immune system, cell growth, and reproduction. Beta-carotene is a type of carotenoid that the body can convert into vitamin A. It is found in many fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach.
• Riboflavin (1mg): Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin that is important for energy production, cell growth, and the function of the nervous system. It is found in many foods, including milk, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, and green vegetables.
• Folate (100mcg DFE; 60mcg Folic Acid): Folate is a B vitamin that is important for cell growth, DNA synthesis, and reproduction. It is found in many foods, including leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, and beans. L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium is a form of folate that is more easily absorbed by the body than folic acid.
• Copper (0.5mg): Copper is a mineral that is important for the formation of red blood cells, collagen, and enzymes. It is found in many foods, including liver, oysters, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
• Methylsulfonylmethane (100mg): MSM is a sulfur compound that is found in the body and in some foods. It is sometimes used as a dietary supplement, but there is no scientific evidence to support its use for any health condition.
  
• L-Valine (100mg): L-valine is an amino acid that is used to build protein. It is found in many foods, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and nuts.
  
• Ashwagandha (50mg): Ashwagandha is an herb that has been used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries. It is sometimes used as a dietary supplement to reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost the immune system, but there is no strong scientific evidence to support these uses.
