Easy IronPatients with below optimal iron levels

Thyroid Antibodies – Antibody Support

Why lower antibodies?

Thyroid antibodies can cause the progression of thyroid disease and lower the odds of recovery. 

Read More: Detailed Prescribing Information

Even with stable thyroid function (euthyroidism), they may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, hair loss, and edema. 

They can also contribute to risk for other conditions including infertility and heart disease.

Antibody Support

Product details

Patient Selection

You likely have many savvy patients who ask specifically for help lowering their antibodies. Antibody Support can be a central part of their care plan. 

For others with elevated thyroid antibodies, you can make them aware of the benefits of lowering their antibodies – recovery from thyroid disease and improvement of many of the symptoms. 

Expectations 

The ingredients in Antibody Support have been proven in human clinical trials to lower thyroid antibodies within 3-6 months. Group reductions average roughly 50% for most of the ingredients individually. The formula can collectively be expected to work as well if not better and more quickly than any of the individual ingredients. 

Antibody Support is formulated to be used in combination with Thyroid Daily. 

Dosing Guidelines

Recommended dosing is 2 capsules once daily with food at least 1 hour after taking thyroid medication.

Thyroid Nodules – Nodule Control

The majority of adults with hypothyroidism and/or Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis have thyroid nodules. Between 3-7% of thyroid nodules can harbor thyroid cancer.

Read More: Detailed Prescribing Information

In addition to the cancer risk, thyroid nodules can cause difficulty swallowing, voice changes, and local pain. 

Thyroid Nodules can often be responsive to treatment including nutraceutical care, active surveillance, and dietary therapy.

Nodule Control

Product details

Patient Selection

Patients with thyroid nodules. Especially for those with worrisome nodules and those that may be contributing to local symptoms.

Expectations 

The ingredients in Nodule Control have been proven in human clinical trials to lower thyroid Nodules within 2-6 months. Group volume reductions average 20-50% for most of the ingredients individually. The formula can collectively be expected to work as well if not better and more quickly than any of the individual ingredients. 

Nodule Control is formulated to be used in combination with Thyroid Daily. 

Dosing Guidelines

Recommended dosing is 2 capsules once daily with food at least 1 hour after taking thyroid medication. 

Hyperthyroidism – Hyperthyroid Support

Hyperthyroidism raises the risk for poor quality of life; mortality; and comorbidities such as cardiac arrhythmias, hip fracture, and Graves’ eye disease. 

Read More: Detailed Prescribing Information

Hyperthyroid Support

Product details

Patient Selection

Patients with prolonged exposure to hyperthyroidism and/or risks associated with Graves’ disease can benefit from Hyperthryoid Support. The earliest stages of hyperthyroidism are evident with TSH levels below range regardless of T4, T3, rT3, or thyroid antibodies. 

In most cases, hyperthyroidism will be caused by thyroid medications, Graves’ disease, or toxic nodular goiter. 

Hyperthyroid Support is safe to use in conjunction with medications and treatments that slow thyroid function such as methimazole, propylthiouracil, and radio ablation. 

Expectations 

Hyperthyroid Support can help protect against the harm of hyperthyroidism but will not slow thyroid function or elevate TSH levels. 

In addition to Hyperthryoid Support, it is necessary to ascertain the cause of hyperthyroidism and start the process to achieve normal thyroid function. 

Dosing Guidelines

Recommended dosing is 2 capsules once daily with food at least 1 hour after taking thyroid medication. 

Steps 3: Symptom Specific

For the final steps, consider your patient’s top symptoms. They may include:

  • Weight loss
  • Improved energy
  • Better sleep

For the following steps, include them as you deem appropriate. The products are formulated so that those taking them all still receive appropriate doses of each ingredient.

Symptom Specific

Metabolism BoostPatients with an excessive appetite, difficult weight loss, recurrent weight gain
Adrenal EnergyPatients with recurrent unexplained fatigue, cravings of sugar or salt, dizziness and low blood pressure, poor recovery from exercise
ThyrotoninPatients unable to fall asleep quickly or stay asleep throughout the night or those with unrefreshing sleep

Weight loss – Metabolism Boost

Weight loss is the most commonly stated goal of patients with thyroid disease. Since extra body weight is a prime source of inflammation, weight loss is also one of the most effective ways to improve a variety of other symptoms.

Metabolism Boost

Product details

Patient Selection

When recommending Metabolism Boost, consider all patients with an expressed interest in weight loss as well as those who may benefit due to anthropometric findings such as BMI, height to waist ratio, and body fat percentage. 

Expectations 

Metabolism Boost can improve the efficacy of weight-loss strategies and be used to improve compliance in patients who struggle with food cravings and excessive appetites.

Dosing Guidelines

Recommended dosing is 2 capsules once daily with food at least 1 hour after taking thyroid medication.

Better Sleep – Thyrotonin

Many with thyroid disease suffer from dyssomnias including difficulties falling asleep, poor sleep retention, poor sleep quality, and daytime drowsiness. 

Read More: Detailed Prescribing Information

Exogenous melatonin use may improve sleep onset in adults. Yet some adults with variations in melatonin receptor 1A may experience rebound sleep disturbances due to receptor downregulation. Studies show that variations in melatonin receptor 1A are more common in those with autoimmune thyroid disease. 

Thyrotonin supplies immediate-release melatonin at a microdose of 100 mcg. This dosage may be more effective since it is below a threshold that leads to receptor downregulation. Microdose melatonin has been shown to be safe for longer-term use without the risk of inhibiting endogenous melatonin secretion. 

Thyrotonin

Product details

Patient Selection

Use Thyrotonin as an adjunct to improve sleep quality in patients with oversleep complaints and excessive daytime drowsiness.

Dosing Guidelines

The recommended starting dose is 1 capsule daily away from food and within an hour of bedtime. The dose can be titrated as needed from 1-3 capsules.
