Recent studies suggest that millions of individuals suffer from sub-clinical thyroid problems. Notably, women are far more likely than men to be afflicted. The vast majority of individuals who suffer from sub-clinical hypothy- roidism (underactive thyroid) may develop any of the following symptoms: fatigue, weight gain, depression, cold intolerance, hormonal imbalance and decreased libido. Asmaller fraction of individuals suffer from hyperthy- roidism (overactive thyroid).

Without proper treatment, or relief of the underlying causes of sub-clinical hypothyroidism, the symptoms may generally worsen over time, eventually resulting in permanent damage. Poor nutrition is considered one of the causes of an under active thyroid; thus, providing optimal nutrition is vital to correcting them, as well as to prevent further decline. Healthy thyroid function is dependent on a range of nutri- ents, especially iodine, zinc, selenium, copper and L-tyrosine. In addition to proper nutrition, fluctuations in hor- mone levels may also act as a trigger in thyroid dysfunction, resulting in a sub-clinical thyroid imbalance during pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. In many cases, the thyroid disorder itself is a symptom of underlying issue. Adrenal stress, for example, impairs thyroid function; cortisol blocks the efficient conversion and peripher- al cellular use of the thyroid hormones at many levels. For this reason, proper evaluation of the endocrine system may be required to determine the exact cause of low thyroid function.

Thyroid Response™Nutrient Factors was exclusively crafted to provide nutrients vital to healthy thyroid function. Because the cause of a thyroid imbalance is affected by many different factors, this formula was designed as a tar- geted nutritional formula that may be used in conjunction with other Innate Response Formulas®targeted at pro- moting and/or modulating endocrine function. Purpose: To provide whole food nutrients essential to support the health and metabolic function of the thyroid gland.

Indication: Sub-clinical hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency. Suggested Use: 2 tablets, 1-2 times daily, or as needed. Recommended to be taken in conjunction with Thyroid Response™Estrogen Factors, as directed; Folic Acid, B12 & B6, as directed. Contraindications: Iodine supplements may decrease the effectiveness of methimazole and propylthiouracil.

Rationale forNutrients
The thyroid gland requires specific nutrients in order to function optimally. Iodine, selenium and the amino acid tyrosine are all essential for the production and conversion of the thyroid hormones T4 (thyroxin) and T3 (tri- iodothyronine). Intracellular conversion of T4 to T3 is known to require zinc, selenium, copper and iron. Selenium and iodine are two minerals which are critically important in the proper functioning of the thyroid. While the importance of iodine has been known for some time, the importance of selenium has only recently been dis- covered and explored. Much research is presently being conducted on the functions of these two minerals in thy- roid function, and it is becoming clear that an interaction exists between the two.
