Description
Hypothyroidism refers to a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to function properly, resulting in reduced output of thyroid hormones. Because thyroid hormones affect the metabolism of every cell in the body, a deficiency will usually result in a large number of signs and symptoms, such as: depression, difficulty in losing weight, dry skin, headaches, fatigue, menstrual problems, recurrent infections and sensitivity to cold.
In the past the most likely cause of hypothyroidism was a deficiency of iodine which often led to enlargement of the thyroid gland and a condition commonly referred to as goitre. Deficiencies of iodine are now quite rare in the developed countries because of the practice of adding iodine to table salt, yet hypothyroidism is still quit common and may affect as much as twenty-five percent of the general population.
Treatment strategies involve providing the raw materials for the manufacture of thyroid hormone, as well as the necessary nutrients for the optimal functioning of the thyroid gland itself.
In the formula, tyrosine and kelp powder (a source of iodine) provide the necessary ingredients for the manufacture of thyroid hormone; other ingredients ensure the optimal functioning of the thyroid gland.
