Thyroid Strong
Clinically, I use this product when I see that the patient is struggling to produce thyroid hormones. This can be indicated by an elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) or low T4 or T3. - Dr. Jockers
Let's discuss the key benefits of Thyroid Strong:
Why are people taking Thyroid Strong
I have been taking Synthroid for decades and really did not see any help with hypothyroid issues of weight gain, extreme fatigue, poor sleep and waking up feeling like I wanted to go back to bed. After starting Thyroid Strong I noticed an increase in energy the first week, including the ability and desire to do more and get things done in the moment instead of putting them off for later. I have also experienced more restful sleep of better quality and waking up feeling good. The positive changes I have noted after starting this supplement are wonderful and I plan to continue taking it. Thank you! - Karla

What is Thyroid Strong?![]()
Thyroid Strong is a comprehensive freeze-dried, BSE-free, bovine, multiglandular, mineral, and herbal formula to support healthy thyroid function.
Thyroid Strong provides essential nutrients, and herbal and glandular support for the production of thyroid hormones.
What is Thyroid Hormone production?
The thyroid is a small gland with a sizeable role in the body. Its primary function is the concentration of iodine and the production of crucial thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
T4 is converted to T3 by the body. Between them, T3 is the more potent, biologically active hormone. It regulates the metabolic rate within cells and affects fundamental functions throughout the body.
Thyroid hormone production depends on the presence of iodine and the amino acid L-tyrosine in adequate amounts. T4 contains tyrosine and four iodine molecules, while T3 contains tyrosine and three iodine molecules.
Production of thyroid hormones can be disrupted by several factors in the environment, including heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, fluoride), pesticides, dysbiosis, hormonal fluctuations, antibiotic residues, chemicals, other xenobiotics, or lack of nutrients required for thyroid hormone synthesis. [1]
What is the Thyroid Gland’s Manifold Effects?
The thyroid gland does not work alone; it interacts intimately with the liver, the kidneys, and the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. Communicating via the intricate matrices of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, these key players coordinate the body’s response to stress and its quest for homeostasis. [1,2]
Thyroid hormone activates over 100 enzymes in the body, exerting a significant effect on growth and metabolic rate. The metabolic rate reflects the body’s transformation of nutrients into energy.
Thyroid hormone, and its influence on metabolic rate, plays a fundamental role in appetite, weight maintenance, energy levels and mood, gastrointestinal regularity, tolerance to temperature changes, and healthy hair and nails. [3,4]
What does the Thyroid support?
Glandular Support
Glandular extracts have a century-old history of supporting healthy thyroid levels. A linear relationship between thyroid extract and serum levels of thyroxine and triiodothyronine in children has been observed. [3,5]
Micronutrient, Amino Acid, and Herbal Support
Production of thyroid hormone is fundamentally dependent on the presence of L-tyrosine and iodine, while conversion of T4 to T3 is facilitated by selenium.
Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus), dulse, kelp, and Irish moss are natural sources of iodine for support of endogenous thyroid hormone production. [6] The combination provides foundational elements with supportive nutrients in Thyroid Strong.
