Ingredients explained
Iodine (from kelp)
Iodine is required to form thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which influence metabolic activity throughout the body.
Caution: Those with thyroid conditions or high iodine intake from diet should be mindful of total iodine, as excessive amounts may affect thyroid hormone balance.
L-Tyrosine
L-tyrosine provides the amino acid backbone for thyroid hormone synthesis and for neurotransmitters involved in stress response.
Caution: May affect alertness; avoid taking late in the day if sensitive and consult a professional if using stimulants or thyroid medication.
Selenium (from selenomethionine)
Selenium-dependent enzymes help convert thyroid hormone T4 into the more active T3 and protect thyroid tissue from oxidative stress.
Caution: High intakes from multiple supplements may lead to unwanted effects such as gastrointestinal upset; keep total selenium within recommended limits.
Zinc (from zinc oxide)
Zinc acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in thyroid hormone production and receptor function.
Caution: Can cause stomach discomfort on an empty stomach and may interact with certain antibiotics; separate dosing if needed.
Coleus forskohlii (standardised to 10% forskolin) (root)
Forskolin activates cellular cAMP signalling, which is studied for its role in metabolic pathways and thyroid gland activity.
Caution: May lower blood pressure and increase heart rate; use caution if sensitive or using medications affecting blood pressure.
How they work together
Iodine and L-tyrosine provide the raw materials for thyroid hormone construction, while selenium and zinc assist enzymatic steps involved in hormone activation and receptor function. Coleus forskohlii influences cellular signalling that relates to metabolic activity, complementing the nutrient cofactors.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Avoid use if pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have or have had low blood pressure, a blood clotting disorder, or gastric ulcers. Do not use with prescription medicines, especially blood pressure medicines, anticoagulants, or asthma medicines. Stop use two weeks before surgery.
Who should be cautious: People with thyroid conditions or on thyroid medicines, as iodine and L-tyrosine may affect thyroid function. Those with sensitivities to crustaceans should be cautious due to possible traces. People with cardiovascular concerns or on blood pressure medicines should seek advice. People on anticoagulants should use caution. People with gastrointestinal issues, especially ulcers, should be careful. Consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications if you use minerals like magnesium or zinc that may affect absorption of certain medicines.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
