Thyroid FAQ

Q: What is Thyroid and its associated disorders?

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in your neck. It makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are necessary for all the cells in your body to work normally.

An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, and the majority are unaware of their condition. If your thyroid gland is not working right, it produces too little or too much of the thyroids hormones that regulate body functions. This can lead to a host of health issues including mental slowing, depression, dementia, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, muscle stiffness and pain, even irregular menstruation or infertility.

Some disorders include Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Goiter, Thyroid nodules and Thyroid cancer.

Hypothyroidism is perhaps the most common disorder of the thyroid where natural supplements are widely recommended. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient amounts of thyroid hormones. Natural herbal supplements are well tolerated in this instance, providing effective support and nourishment for optimal thyroid functioning and balance.

Q: Do all Thyroid supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride the latest health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects of other essential ingredients. Thyroid supplements assist your thyroid with natural vitamins, minerals and plant extracts that, taken daily, can offer a myriad of benefits to people of all ages. They work to nourish healthy thyroid function, promote healthy antioxidant levels, support immune system and assist thyroid management.

Q: What should I look for?

The secret of a good thyroid supplement lies in the ingredients contained within the supplement and the correct dosage.

• It must contain ingredients essential for thyroid health such as Iodine, Selenium, Magnesium plus a blend of essential minerals, vitamins and herbs clinically proven beneficial for the thyroid.
• It must have no preservatives, additives or any other artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure with no added ingredients that might water down the product.
• It should provide a money back guarantee.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

We promote only 100 percent all-natural pure ingredients with no known side effects. However, as always, please consult your doctor if you have questions about combining our recommended products with other medications. Also, pregnant or nursing women are always advised to consult with their physician before taking any supplement or medication.

Q: How do I take a thyroid supplement?

You should take a thyroid supplement as per recommended instructions. Some people like taking the complete dosage all at once, but we recommend spacing it out to get the most from a supplement, perhaps once in the morning and once in the evening. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the daily dosage, since this can pose health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while others take longer. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any time frame.

Q: How much do thyroid supplements cost?

The cost of thyroid supplements varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the trend. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
