With resolutions and the fresh start of a new year, most people tend to set goals that are centered around getting their body into better physical shape. In support of this goal, it is important to note that January is Thyroid Awareness Month. Not only will this help with physical goals, but getting your thyroid in check benefits your memory and focus, too.
Your thyroid gland, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your next, produces essential hormones T3 and T4, which regulate growth and development and govern the metabolic rate of your entire body. In fact, every cell in your body depends upon T3 and T4 as they convert oxygen and calories into energy.
What does this mean to you? Well, without an optimally functioning thyroid gland, it may be nearly impossible to achieve your physical goals, such as losing weight, gaining energy and enjoying the quality of life you deserve.
If you suffer from one or all of the following, your thyroid gland may need a little support to function better:
• Fatigue
• Sensitivity to cold
• Joint pain
• Muscle aches
• Constipation
• Dry skin
• Brittle nails
• Hair loss
• Depression
So what can you do to support your thyroid gland? There are many essential nutrients that the body needs, but when it comes to thyroid health, iodine is vital. Because T3 and T4 are made from iodine, without enough of this micronutrient, the thyroid cannot produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. The best sources of iodine are seafood and seaweed, however, most people cannot possibly consume enough of either to absorb adequate amounts, so supplementation is often necessary.
Iodine Complex is a non-radioactive form of iodine that combines both iodine and potassium iodide, both of which are used by every cell in the human body. Iodine Complex may help increase overall thyroid function, and therefore, may improve mental clarity, weight loss, energy levels, hair loss, joint pain and so much more. If there is nothing else you do for your thyroid, take Iodine Complex.
Another mineral that is critical in supporting the thyroid is selenium. This micronutrient is found in seafood, meat and dairy products, but like iodine, most people cannot consume sufficient amounts to absorb the amount of selenium needed to maintain healthy thyroid function. If thyroid health is of top priority, be sure selenium is a key aspect of your vitamin regimen.
Finally, and most importantly, hypothyroidism is best treated by replenishing your body with bioidentical thyroid hormone, such as compounded T3/T4. To learn more about bioidentical hormone replacement and the health of your thyroid gland, click here.
Bottom line: A healthy thyroid is directly related to enjoying a long, healthy life and ultimately, is what will help you achieve your New Year's resolution no matter what it may be. Order Iodine Complex or selenium today so you can stop feeling sluggish and start feeling like yourself again.
