What are the benefits of the Thyro food supplement?

What is the thyroid?

The thyroid gland is a small endocrine gland located at the base of the neck. Among other things, it synthesizes thyroid hormones that control our body's basal metabolism. It therefore plays a role in maintaining body weight, regulating body temperature, and ensuring proper reflexes, muscle strength, growth, and other functions.

The functioning of the thyroid and the synthesis of thyroid hormones is crucial for the optimal functioning of the body.

What can Thyro do for my thyroid?

Thyro is specifically designed for people who consume little or no iodized salt and seafood, and whose iodine intake is therefore insufficient. This insufficient iodine intake leads to a lack of thyroid hormone production, a condition known as hypothyroidism (there are other causes of hypothyroidism). Thyro provides the essential nutrients necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. This intake can indeed be deficient in cases of subclinical hypothyroidism.

Thyro was designed to provide all the elements necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones (Tyrosine, Iodine, Selenium, ...). The iodine provided by Thyro is of plant origin, it comes from the seaweed " laminaria digitata ", a variety of Kelp renowned for its natural supply of iodine in the form of potassium iodide .

Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones and its absence has multiple repercussions on the functioning of the thyroid and metabolism in general (goiter, hypothyroidism, weight gain, altered intestinal transit, lack of “energy”, feeling cold, etc.).

Thyro provides the nutrients necessary for proper thyroid function. It also contains Guggul ( Commiphora wightii ). Guggul, long used in Ayurvedic medicine (in Europe, the health claims for Guggul are currently under review by the EFSA), is rich in guggulsterones. These components are known for relieving rheumatic pain and normalizing blood lipids.

Guggul also has properties that allow for the maintenance of thyroid function (see the claims section).

Ingredients

What are the ingredients of Thy.ro?

An amino acid

An amino acid:

L-Tyrosine , one of the building blocks used in the production of thyroid hormones, is a precursor of catecholamines and thyroid hormones.

4 plants

4 plants:

Oats , Guggul , Eleutherococcus , and Kelp . Kelp, in particular, provides a natural source of iodine, optimal for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiencies exist in France. The INCA 2 study showed that 43% of women of childbearing age are deficient in iodine, which is essential for thyroid function. Iodine deficiencies lead to a decrease in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and therefore to hypothyroidism.

trace elements

Vitamins and trace elements:

Selenium, zinc, beta-carotene, iron, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6. These different nutrients were chosen for their interaction with the thyroid:

  • Selenium, with its antioxidant properties, is necessary for the functioning of thyroid thyroid peroxidase, which allows the use of iodine.

  • Zinc is an essential cofactor for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

  • Iron is also involved in the functioning of tyroperoxidase.

  • The various vitamins selected also participate in the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

Why is Thyro a unique dietary supplement?

The initial formula of Thyro was conceived more than 10 years ago in collaboration with Professor Patrick Fénichel, a pioneering endocrinologist in environmental medicine and the impact of our environment on our health, and founder of the AMEA association for the prevention of damage related to pollutants and endocrine disruptors.

The initial formula has evolved as new scientific studies on the effectiveness of certain natural ingredients have been published.

Thyro has been specifically formulated to allow an optimal supply of tyrosine and iodine in order to avoid certain cases of hypothyroidism.
