Features
- The operative state of the thyroid gland is one of the most commonly discussed topics in endocrinology circles worldwide. The primary role of the thyroid is the production of the hormones thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin. These hormones are involved in the regulation of the body’s metabolic rate and influence the progression and functional pace of many other organ systems.
- The production of T3 & T4 hormones is dependent on an individual’s dietary intake of the mineral Iodine. Iodine is the chief component essential to the molecular synthesis of both T3 and T4. If inadequate consumption of such a critical element is apparent, the process of thyroid hormone generation and general thyroid functionality could be severely compromised.
- Iodine deficiency is responsible for many symptoms of illness including fatigue, aches and pains, weight gain, memory loss, etc. Deficiency can also result in impaired physical and mental development (primarily in children). Not only is iodine vital for the creation of thyroid hormones, it is also required to produce every other hormone in the body. Once the thyroid gland has attained iodine saturation, any excess is utilized by other tissues, such as the nasal cavities, gut, breasts, stomach, bones and connective tissue. The immune system must also have sufficient iodine to function properly. Additionally, iodine is drawn on for its use as an antibacterial, anti-parasitic, and anti-viral agent. Unfortunately, iodine deficiency is a major global concern affecting over one billion people worldwide with the primary issue stemming from the lack of Iodine content found in most foods.
- All Iodine comes from one of two sources, either kelp or brines (saltwater/seawater). When kelp is heated it precipitates as iodine metal or elemental iodine, which takes the form of purple flakes. Due to elemental iodine’s highly unstable nature, it is usually combined with another element, for example potassium (potassium iodide) or ammonia (ammonia iodide). These additions stabilize the iodine and form what is called an iodine salt. All forms of iodine salt are equivalent, where one compound is not considered superior to another. However, the stabilization process of the iodine will have an impact on its overall bioavailability and assimilation in the body.
- The Thyroid is extremely selective in nature and requires Iodine only in its simplest form to make thyroid hormone. This is where the medicinal use of iodine salts raises questions. These salts are generally harder for the body to assimilate, as they need to be initially broken down before the iodine can be employed. Unlike potassium or ammonia iodide (commonly sold iodine supplements), THYACTIN is a specialty colloidal iodine preparation that utilizes a unique colloidal stabilization process forgoing the formation of an iodized salt. Hence, THYACTIN contains iodine in its purest, most elemental dietary form, which requires no further digestive breakdown, essential increasing overall absorption and assimilation. The formulation also contains key homeopathic remedies including Fucus Vesiculosis, Spongia Tosta and Thyroid 30c. These powerful homeopathics plus pure colloidal iodine make THYACTIN the best and only choice for iodine supplementation.
