*ThyroCare is designed to provide adjunctive herbal and nutritional support for the thyroid gland. It is useful for maintaining healthy thyroid function and maintaining healthy body temperature. ThyroCare is recommended instead of Thyroid Px for people who are sensitive to high levels of iodine.

Iodine plays an important role in the support of thyroid hormones and helps maintain healthy cellular metabolism. Guggul is considered a rejuvenating herb in the Ayurvedic tradition of India. The resin of the Guggul Tree is a powerful adaptogen, which helps support thyroid, liver and kidney function. Studies suggest that Guggul helps the thyroid to increase iodine metabolism and helps maintain cholesterol levels already in the normal range. Bladderwrack has been traditionally used to support thyroid function for thousands of years, and it appears to provide the thyroid with the nutrition and substrates it requires. Blue Flag Iris has a long history of being used to improve thyroid function.

Diiodotyrosine (DIT) is a molecular intermediary produced during normal thyroid function. DIT occurs in nature in some forms of seaweed. This is one of the reasons that people in Europe were traditionally advised to take seaweed baths and eat seaweed soups to support thyroid function. DIT in ThyroCare and Thyroid Px is extracted from iodine in seaweed and is combined with the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine enhances the thyroid function. Studies show that the combination of tyrosine and iodine support thyroid function. Selenium plays an important role in thyroid metabolism.
