Coleus Forskohlii: 60 capsules. Coleus forskohlii root contains the diterpene forskolin, which activates adenylate cyclase, and in turn increases cellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentrations. Ingestion of Coleus extracts, and the subsequent increase in cAMP, can be helpful in decreasing histamine release from mast cells and basophils, while mitigating the inflammatory response in individuals with such conditions as asthma, psoriasis, and eczema. Studies suggest the increased cAMP stimulated by Coleus extracts relaxes respiratory airway smooth muscle, resulting in bronchodilation and improved respiratory function in asthma. Forskolin inhibits IgE-mediated release of the potent inflammatory mediators histamine and leukotriene C4 from human basophils and lung mast cells. This suggests Coleus might be of benefit in inhibiting immediate hypersensitivity reactions.

Iodine and Tyrosine: 60 capsules. Key nutrients for thyroid support. Beneficial in treatment of fatigue. Iodine & Tyrosine, essential mineral and amino acid support for the thyroid gland. The thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are two hormones produced by the thyroid gland. The major form of thyroid hormone in the blood is thyroxine (T4); in fact, there is generally 20 times more T4 in the blood than T3. The thyroid hormones are essential to the proper development and differentiation of all cells of the human body. The thyroid hormones regulate the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, affecting how humans use these compounds to produce energy. Individual thyroid hormones have important functions in the body; for example, thyroxine supports cardiac output, heart rate, respiratory rate, and basal metabolic rate. The thyroid gland can’t produce its hormones without the presence of the amino acid, L-tyrosine, and the mineral, iodine. Both are necessary for the production of T4 and T3. Thus, a deficiency of either the amino acid or the mineral or both could contribute to low thyroid hormone levels. Studies have found L-tyrosine may be beneficial for treating fatigue, a common symptom of low thyroid hormone levels. Individuals should be aware that some foods can cause a relative iodine deficiency by binding to iodine, making it inaccessible for thyroid hormone production, although cooking these foods tends to make them less so. Such foods include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, soy, peanuts, pine nuts, turnips, and rutabaga.

Thyrocsin: 60 capsules. The hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are produced by the thyroid gland. These hormones are essential to the proper development of cells in the body. Thyroid hormones regulate the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, affecting how these compounds produce energy. Individual thyroid hormones have important functions in the body; for example, T4 supports cardiac output, heart rate, respiratory rate, and basal metabolic rate (BMR). A low BMR may cause one to be fatigued, chilly, and have trouble losing weight. Thyrocsin provides supportive nutrients for a healthy thyroid gland. Not only does Thyrocsin support healthy thyroid function, it also provides nutrients necessary for conversion of T4 to T3 in the tissues outside the thyroid gland. Iodine is necessary for formation of T4, while L-tyrosine is a necessary component of both T4 and T3 formation. Animal studies indicate the Ayurvedic botanical ashwagandha can increase T4 concentrations. Several nutrients are also necessary for conversion of T4 to T3, including the minerals selenium, zinc, and copper. Thyrocsin contains vitamin B12 because its insufficiency appears to interfere with the activity of thyroid hormones. Conversion of T4 to T3 can be inhibited by heavy metal toxicity and lipid peroxidation; the antioxidant vitamins C and E can counterbalance this inhibition. Thyroid hormones are involved with metabolism throughout the body. Thus, a deficiency or excess of thyroid hormones can have far-reaching effects. High cortisol levels can interfere with thyroid function, resulting in low T4 or poor conversion of T4 to the active form, T3. Nutrients that support normal levels of cortisol may be of benefit for this population.

ThyroFem: 60 capsules. A glandular-free formula providing key nutrients to support the thyroid. Zinc, with vitamins E and A function together in the manufacture of thyroid hormone. Selected B vitamins and Vitamin C are also necessary for normal thyroid hormone manufacture. Zinc, copper and selenium are required cofactors for normal blood levels of thyroid hormones and normalization of thyroid activity. Thyroid hormones are made from iodine and tyrosine. Ashwagandha and rhodiola create a balanced polyglandular support of the thyroid gland in concert with the rest of the endocrine system. Each vegetarian suitable capsule includes: Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate), Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol succinate), Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), Iodine (from kelp), Zinc (picolinate), Copper (as amino acid chelate), Selenium (as L-selenomethionine), L Tyrosine, Ashwagandha root ext (1% alkaloids, 1.5% withanolides), Rhodiola root ext (3% rosavins, 1% salidroside)
