Natures Own Thyroid Support
- In a Wholefood base
- multi mineral to support thyroid health. The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine, found in many foods, & convert it into thyriod hormones: thyroxine (T4) & thiodothyronine (T3). Thyriod cells are the only cells in the body which absorb iodine. These cells combine iodine & the amino acid tyrosine to make T3 & T4. T3 & T4 are then released into the bloodstream & are transported throughout the body, where they control metabolic rate, metabolism & many other vital functions such as cardiac output, heart rate & respiratory rate.
