Ingredients
Olive leaf:
Studies suggest Olive leaf has a positive effect on both the thyroid and pituitary glands. It increases triiodothyronine levels and reduced circulating thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in a dose-dependent manner.
Rhodiola root:
An adaptogenic herb that supports the body’s ability to resist stressors and restore the body to its normal physiological function. This may include improving fatigue, low mood, brain function, and exercise performance.
Ginkgo Biloba leaf:
Cognitive function is commonly impaired with an underactive thyroid along with lingering feelings of sadness. Ginkgo Biloba may increase GABA levels; improve mood, bring a greater sense of well-being, improve one's ability to concentrate, and improve memory.
Passionflower:
Stress can increase cortisol levels and an under-active thyroid can interfere with the renal system's ability to clear the cortisol. Extracts from the aerial parts of Passionflower are widely used as components of herbal sedatives and sleep aids. Bringing relief to the tensions, nervousness, and trouble sleeping created by stress.
Capsicum fruit:
Is included to improve absorption. Also, in many cases weight gain comes with an under-active thyroid, capsicum may increase the basal metabolic rate, stimulating the process of thermogenesis and stimulating lipolysis.
Potassium Iodide:
Used to support and protect the thyroid glands. We have recently changed our formula to contain Potassium Iodide instead of Irish Moss. Irish Moss has become harder to source and now runs the risk of containing an unhealthy amount of lead.
