All About ThyroLife

All About ThyroLife: Optima & Multi-Preventive

Get rid of the confusion ! Most people don’t know what to take and not to take when it comes to vitamins and antioxidants. There is a great deal of concern that many commercially-available supplements contain vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and herbs that have either not been studied or are in the wrong amounts. Some of them contain either too much or too little of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. The amounts of some of these supplements may not correlate with the claimed amounts. You should not be confused any longer ! If you are looking for a healthy, well-proportioned and well-balanced combination, ThyroLife may be an excellent choice for you. These supplements will provide you with exactly what you need. It will prevent vitamin and antioxidant depletion, and will fight the free radicals and their damaging effects to protect your thyroid, your brain, and your body. Micronutrients, vitamins and antioxidants included in ThyroLife Optima and ThyroLife Multi-Preventive will enhance your metabolism and will improve your energy.

What are damaging free radicals?

During normal metabolism, cells in the body produce highly oxygenated compounds called free radicals, which are toxic to the cells. A buildup of free radicals from bodily metabolism causes damage to your organs, including the cardiovascular system and the brain. Free radicals also weaken the immune system. Free radicals damage cells and harm the genes which tell cells what to do and not to do, and this can promote cancer. Free radicals can also damage your thyroid gland and impair its function.

What is an anti-oxidant?

An antioxidant is a natural compound that has the ability to bind and neutralize free radicals in your body. When you take proper amounts of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, this will help you minimize the buildup of the “bad guys” and will improve your cell's health. Getting rid of free radicals will allow the cells to live longer and be healthier and will slow premature aging.

Why is it that for thyroid patients adequate intake of essential nutrients is crucial for optimal health ?

• Thyroid imbalance promotes accumulation of damaging free radicals in your system. It can also make you depleted of antioxidants that normally clear your system of free radicals.
  

• Thyroid imbalance makes you become at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Antioxidants and certain vitamins are crucial for lowering cardiovascular risk and brain damage and improving cognition and brain function. Recent research showed that thyroid patients are at much higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
  

• Thyroid patients are vulnerable to depression, low mood, anxiety, and weight issues, even after correction of the thyroid imbalance with treatment. Antioxidants help neurotransmitters work better and will help with improving mood and anxiety. They are also an important component of the weight management program.
  

• Antioxidants help anti-thyroid medications work more effectively in patients with Graves' disease.
  

• Disturbances of the immune system are the most common reasons for having a thyroid imbalance. Vitamins and antioxidants support the immune system and help minimize the attacks on the thyroid.
  

• Thyroid imbalance promotes degenerative damage to the brain. Antioxidants help preventing cognitive impairment and help in the prevention of degenerative damage to the brain.

Major Benefits of the vitamins and anti-oxidants found in ThyroLife Multi-Preventive and Optima
