ADAPTOGENS: Along with Eleuthero, all Ginsengs (Korean, American, and Siberian) are adaptogens. While all nutrients are valuable and required for sustenance, only the adaptogen will prompt the body to release its own sluggish and oft-weakened powers of self-revitalization. Adaptogens help the body remain vital and healthy even under unfavorable and stressful conditions. Adaptogens affect the energy supply of cells in your brain, muscles, liver, kidneys, glands, nerves and just about everywhere else, energizing them and allowing them to function properly even when subjected to adverse conditions. There is a most important secondary effect of this normalization of the energy supply of the cells. All body cells are continuously renewed. This most basic function depends upon a pair of nucleid proteins known as RNA and DNA. An adaptogen energizes the RNA and DNA molecules to rebuild cells.

AYURVEDA ASHWAGANDHA: has been used for 4,000 years plus in India. Generally, Ashwagandha stimulates the immune system. It has also been shown to inhibit inflammation and improve memory. Taken together with Ginseng, these actions support the traditional reputation of Ashwagandha as a tonic or adaptogen. It counteracts the effects of stress and generally promotes wellness.

VITAMIN B6 (Pyridoxine): Vitamin B6 must be obtained from the diet, because humans cannot synthesize it. It plays a vital role in the function of approximately 100 enzymes that catalyze essential chemical reactions in the body. These vitamins work together to sustain proper chemical reactions and support the adrenals in providing the necessary energy for our lives.

CORDYCEPS: While recently been purported for their anti-cancer properties, Cordyceps are a prized antioxidant fungus that can slow aging and take a load off the adrenals by supporting the immune system, balancing the inflammatory response and helping to stabilize blood sugar. They also help restore normal functioning of various parts of the body by stimulating the immune system, benefiting the circulatory system and promoting energy, vitality and longevity. They develop strong anti-aging power and are known as a powerful anti-oxidant.

VITAMIN B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Vitamin B5 is known as the anti-stress vitamin. Pantothenic acid plays a role in the production of the adrenal hormones and formation of antibodies, aids in vitamin utilization, and helps to convert fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into energy. It is needed to produce vital steroids and cortisone in the adrenal glands and is an essential element of coenzyme A, which is also thought to play a major role in the body's ability to cope with stress and strengthen the immune system. 

ASPARTIC ACID: Aspartic Acid gets its reputation as a treatment for chronic fatigue from the crucial role it plays in generating cellular energy. In addition, this amino acid helps transport minerals needed to form healthy RNA and DNA to the cells, and strengthens the immune system by promoting increased production of immunoglobulins and antibodies (immune system proteins). It keeps the mind sharp by increasing concentrations of NADH in the brain, which is thought to boost the production of neurotransmitters and chemicals needed for normal mental functioning.

ZINC: Zinc aids metabolic and energy producing processes performed by the body and promotes a healthy immune system. In simple terms, when the body is under stress ("fight or flight") the body releases larger than normal amounts of zinc and magnesium ("calming minerals") in an effort to calm the stress.  In doing so, the body is depleting its stores of zinc and magnesium, which are required for their energy producing properties.  So, the adrenals glands are called upon to work extra hard to produce even more energy to make up for this energy shortfall.

L-ALANINE: L-Alanine is one of the most important amino acids released by muscle, functioning as a major energy source through the synthesis of glucose from glycogen stored in the liver. L-Alanine is also an inhibitory or calming neurotransmitter in brain.

FOLIC ACID: Folic acid is considered a brain food. It is needed for energy production and the formation of red blood cells. Folic acid levels in the body can be depleted by alcoholism, low dietary intake, or poor absorption.

VITAMIN B12 (Cyanacobalamin): Vitamin B12 is needed to prevent anemia. It aids in cell formation and cellular longevity. This vitamin is also required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, protein synthesis, and metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. The beneficial effects of vitamin B12 on adrenal gland health and adrenal function were well documented in an article in the June 1984 edition of "Reproduction Nutrition Development".  The article discussed an investigation on the effects of vitamin B12-deficiency towards adrenal cortex function. The study showed that an erratic endocrinological control mechanism located in the hypothalamus-pituitary axis led to irregular cycles due to diets insufficient in vitamin B12 and that adrenal function was restored upon supplementation or an increase of B12 in the diet.

ACTION: 
This Chinese formula supports nourishment, balance and detoxifying of the thyroid gland. It is indicated in hyper and hypothyroid conditions. If a person does present with reduced thyroid function the only way out seen by many is for a lifelong prescription of thyroxin hormone. However, nutritional support containing synergistic blends of herbs and nutrients can be successfully utilized to rebalance the thyroid and improve its function.

INDICATIONS MAY INCLUDE:
Hypothyroidism, depression, anxiety, weight gain, and loss of energy or motivation.

KEY INGREDIENTS:

Vitamin C.................60mg.............99%
Niacin.......................30mg............150%
Zinc ( chelate)...........24mg............159%
Manganese.................9mg.............450%
Vitamin B6..................9mg.............450%
Selenium.................36mcg..............51%
Copper (chelate)....420mcg..............21%

Proprietary blend: Ashwaganda, Hiziki Seaweed, Glutamic Acid, Thyroid substance (70 mg), Kelp, Yellow Dock root, Spirulina Algae, Glycine, Trace Minerals, N-Acetyl- L-Cysteine, L-Glutamine,L-Glutathione, Tyrosene and Pituitary substance.

VITAMIN C: Vitamin C is necessary for Tyrosine metabolism. Tyrosine is an amino acid which is needed by Iodine which is needed by the Thyroid hormones T3 and T4.

NIACIN (VITAMIN B3): Niacin is a B-complex vitamin which works with copper to keep your thyroid balance in check. Niacin is a key vitamin that is important for copper metabolism, which helps keep the Thyroid balanced. Niacin is also an antioxidant, which means it has the ability to neutralize free radicals and keep them from damaging your body. Niacin is an antioxidant that is essential for maintaining enough thyroid hormone. Thyroid disease itself can also cause an antioxidant deficiency.

ZINC: Zinc is required for the action of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. Zinc is necessary for the TRH hypothalamus hormone to stimulate the pituitary gland, which signals the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone. The zinc/copper balance also has a big influence on the progesterone/estrogen balance in women, which has a significant influence on thyroid function

MANGANESE: Manganese is required to transport thyroxin hormone in the cell.

VITAMIN B6: Stress depletes many of the essential nutrients required for thyroid function – the B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc and selenium especially.

SELENIUM: Selenium is crucial in both the production of T-4 thyroid hormone (thyroxine) in the thyroid gland, as well as in the conversion of T-4 to T-3 thyroid hormone, the active form (thyronine). It is required for a number of enzymes known as selenoproteins. The chemical reaction, which converts thyroid hormone T4 into T3, is catalyzed by specific selenoproteins. Selenium deficiency can impair thyroid function.

COPPER (CHELATE): Copper and zinc are two supplements that work together as a pair. Both play an important role in maintaining a healthy thyroid gland. Both copper and zinc have separate roles in providing thyroid support, yet the excess of one mineral leads to the deficiency of another. The proper balance of both copper and zinc are needed to keep the thyroid balanced and maintain the right amount of thyroid hormones in the body.

AYURVEDA ASHWAGANDHA: has been used for 4,000 years plus in India and has a traditional reputation of a tonic or adaptogen. It counteracts the effects of stress and generally promotes wellness. The importance of ashwagandha root extract in the regulation of thyroid function is that the ashwagandha root extract can stimulate thyroidal activity

HIJIKI SEAWEED: Hijiki Seaweed is naturally very high in organic iodine. In 1940, the typical American diet contained 500-800 micrograms a day of iodine. By 1995, that daily intake had dropped down to 135 mcg. Iodine deficiency could be causing many of your health problems. Seaweed provides a great natural source of iodine in a safe dietary form. The regular consumption of seaweed could even restore your thyroid function. This common mineral found in seaweed could be the first non-plant adaptogen--a substance that helps to regulate many body functions including the thyroid. This means it can work for people with an underactive or overactive thyroid.

GLUTAMIC ACID: Is a precursor to L-Glutathione. Low glutamic acid concentration is indicative of myasthenia gravis, thyroiditis, Graves' disease or hypothyroidism if thyroid antibodies are also present.

THYROID SUBSTANCE: This substance is included to activate the cells and tissues of the thyroid gland and to help place them in a healing or stimulation mode. In order to allow the other herbs in this formula to function more appropriately, the thyroid must be receptive to repair.

KELP: This seaweed Because of its natural iodine content, kelp has a normalizing effect on the thyroid gland. Kelp has also been used by homeopathic physicians in cases of obesity, poor digestion, flatulence, obstinate constipation, and to protect against effects of radiation. It is reported to be very beneficial to brain tissue, the membrane surrounding the brain, the sensory nerves, and the spinal cord.

YELLOW DOCK ROOT: Yellow dock is an herb which has practical applications in boosting metabolism function, due to its high content of valuable minerals which affect thyroid health. Yellow dock is said to relieve digestive stagnation. Through promoting proper liver function and cleansing the kidneys and lymph nodes, yellow dock herb promotes harmony between organs of the body. Yellow Dock has a special synergistic function with iodine in dysfunctions of the thyroid gland. It may be used as a blood purifier as it helps to clean the circulatory system in the body and helps to remove accumulated catabolic wastes. associated wit

SPIRULINA: Spirulina contains thyroid-supporting minerals like iodine, and the amino acid tyrosine, which together make up one form of thyroid hormone. Spirulina health benefits include the antioxidant support of beta-carotene, as well as proteins, amino acids, iron, magnesium, and other minerals, vitamin B-12 and B complex and other essential vitamins, the essential fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), and the cleansing and detoxifying power of chlorophyll, among other benefits. Iron in Spirulina is 60% better absorbed than ferrous sulfate and other complements.

GLYCINE: An amino acid which plays an important part in thyroid function and is a precursor to L-Glutathione.

TRACE MINERALS: Your thyroid needs iodine but it also needs other nutrients to function normally. Trace elements and minerals are essential for thyroid health.

N-ACETY-L-CYSTEINE: An amino acid which plays an important part in thyroid function and which is a precursor to L-Glutathione.

L-GLUTATHIONE Glutathione (GSH): is a tripeptide formed from glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Combined with selenium, glutathione forms glutathione peroxidase (GPx) which is one of the key antioxidants that protects the body and is critical for protection of the thyroid gland from oxidation damage.

TYROSINE: is a non-essential amino acid that the body synthesizes from phenylalanine. Amongst its plethora of functions including the formation of the neurotransmitters, tyrosine is a major component of the thyroid hormones. People with low thyroid function may well benefit from supplementation of tyrosine. People with depression often have low levels of tyrosine. Depression is linked with a low thyroid function and studies suggest tyrosine supplementation may well be beneficial.

PITUITARY SUBSTANCE: This substance is included to activate the cells and tissues of the pituitary gland and to help place them in a healing or stimulation mode.

Size: 60 Capsules

Suggested Dosage: Take 1 to 2 capsules three times daily or as directed by a Health Care Professional.

Other Beneficial Products: Thyroid Health One

Obtaining Optimum Results:
For optimum results the key word is commitment. Unlike prescription and OTC medications which may cause an immediate response in the body, herbal and nutrient therapy can be a slower process. Commitment to a regular daily supplement schedule is vital, as well as a commitment to taking supplements over a period of time, which could be anywhere from several weeks to several months. This allows enough time for the nutrients and herbs to facilitate change and repair in the body at a cellular level and bring about the desired results.

How the Body Heals:
When taking certain products, you may feel worse before you begin to feel better, and this is more likely with Detox Products. As you move towards balance by adding herbal and nutritional supplements to your lifestyle, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process, and to set the stage for regeneration, the body could begin to eliminate toxic residues which may have built up over many years. As the nutrients and herbs promote optimum cellular function, old tissues are replaced with new. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house (detoxify), you may experience headache, flu-like symptoms or fatigue. This can be relieved by DRINKING LOTS OF WATER and, if necessary, cutting back on your supplements to allow the body to adjust more slowly and comfortably.

VITAMIN B5 (Pantothenic Acid) 250mg: Vitamin B5 is known as the anti-stress vitamin. Pantothenic acid plays a role in the production of the adrenal hormones and formation of antibodies, aids in vitamin utilization, and helps to convert fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into energy. It is needed to produce vital steroids and cortisone in the adrenal glands and is an essential element of coenzyme A, which is also thought to play a major role in the body's ability to cope with stress and strengthen the immune system.

VITAMIN C (Mg. Ascorbate) 100mg: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is required for tissue growth and repair and adrenal gland function. Humans, unlike most animals, cannot make Vitamin C in their bodies and can only store it. We store Vitamin C in a system within the adrenals, called the Ascorbate system, and stress can deplete our store of Vitamin C. In January 2008, Baehr and colleagues commented on their research in a letter to the editor of the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition," involving vitamin C-deprivation leading to impaired adrenal function can be alleviated by vitamin C supplementation due to its antioxidant effects that restore adrenal enzymatic activity to protect the function of the adrenal cortex against reactive oxygen species.

VITAMIN B6 (Pyridoxine) 25mg: Vitamin B6 must be obtained from the diet, because humans cannot synthesize it. It plays a vital role in the function of approximately 100 enzymes that catalyze essential chemical reactions in the body. These vitamins work together to sustain proper chemical reactions and support the adrenals in providing the necessary energy for our lives.

ADRENAL 150 mg: The protein derived from this adrenal gland substance, containing some important adrenal hormones, helps to rebuild and repair the adrenal glands.

PITUITARY 30mg: The protein derived from this pituitary substance, containing some important pituitary hormones, helps to build and repair the adrenal glands, through the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.

BARBERRY ROOT: A stimulant to the adrenal gland, this herb also tends to increase secretions and excretions thus improving digestion and assimilation. This is done through the activation of the lymphatic system and ductless glands.

BLESSED THISTLE: Also a stimulant to the adrenal gland. Thistle, a known stimulator due to its bitterness, tends to increase gastric and bile secretions. It is also tonifying to the liver and digestive tract.

NOTE: To support reparation of damage to adrenal glands, Adrenal and Pituitary substances interact with Barberry Root and Blessed Thistle to support and rebuild the adrenal glands to regain proper performance.
