Each Capsule Contains:
L-Tyrosine 250 mg
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid necessary for the manufacture of thyroid hormones.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Extract 75 mg
(1.5% withanolides)(5:1 from 375 mg Ashwagandha)
Ashwagandha has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine to support the thyroid gland. Studies show that it enhances thyroid function and produces a significant increase in T4 thyroid hormone. Guggal extract and Ashwagandha should be used together to support thyroid health.
Guggal (Commiphora mukul) Extract 50 mg
3% Guggulsterones)(3.5:1 from 175 mg Guggal)
Guggal extract supports complete thyroid health while enhancing the conversion of T4 hormone to the more potent T3 hormone.
Pantothenic Acid (Calcium Pantothenate) 50 mg
Pantothenic Acid supports the adrenal glands, increases energy, helps you better handle stressful situations and reduces cellulite.
Copper (Gluconate) 250 mcg
Manganese (Citrate) 250 mcg
A deficiency in the above nutrients can cause or contribute to hypothyroidism. Supplementing with these as well as vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C and E will ensure optimal health of your thyroid gland. MULTISMART includes the supporting nutrients and combined with THYROSMART will provide proper thyroid nutrition.
Iodine (Potassium Iodide) 50 mcg
Iodine is essential for the manufacture of thyroid hormones.
The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck below the voice box. The thyroid secretes two hormones that are essential for regulating metabolism: triiodothytonine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). A deficiency in these hormones results in hypothyroidism, a common affliction that is estimated to affect almost 2 in 10 women in North America. Symptoms include: low body temperature, weight gain, fatigue, depression, recurrent infections, sensitivity to cold, dry skin, headaches, reduced libido and menstrual problems.
Severe hypothyroidism requires a prescription from your health care practitioner for supplemental thyroid hormone. Low thyroid function that is mild or sub-clinical may respond to nutritional and herbal supplementation. Even if you are on a thyroid medication, nutritional support in the form of THYROSMART may alleviate some of the symptoms you may still be experiencing.

TAKING YOUR BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE
- Plan to take the test first thing in the morning after you wake up, because it's important to measure temperature after you have had adequate rest.
- Before going to sleep, if you are not using a digital thermometer shake down a regular thermometer to below the 95-degree mark and place it by your bed.
- Immediately upon waking, place the thermometer in your armpit (if using a regular thermometer keep it there for a full 10). Hold your elbow close to your side to keep the thermometer in place.
- Read and record the temperature and date.
- Repeat the test for least three mornings (preferably at the same time of day).
- A reading between 97.6 and 98.2 degrees F is normal. Readings below 97.6 may indicate hypothyroidism.
Note: Menstruating women must perform the test on the second, third, and fourth days of menstruation. Men and postmenopausal women can perform the test at any time. |

Low Thyroid?
by Lorna Vanderhaeghe
If you have the following symptoms low thyroid may be your problem:
- Thinning hair
- Dry skin
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Sensitivity to cold
- Menstrual problems
- Fatigue or lethargy
- Headaches
Hypothyroid or low thyroid hormone is very common in Canada, affecting approximately 20-25 percent of the female population and about 10 percent of males. An additional 20 percent may also have subclinical or mild hypothyroidism whereby their TSH is within normal range. The thyroid secretes two hormones T3 and T4 that are crucial for controlling our metabolism. Because they affect every cell in the body, a deficiency will result in many symptoms including those mentioned above.
Severe hypothyroidism, confirmed by a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test, requires the use of thyroid medication. But if you have mild or subclinical low thyroid, where your TSH is greater than 2.0 IU/ml but less than the 5.5 IU/ml level indicative of hypothyroidism, the nutrients found in THYROSMART may help. Or, if you have been on thyroid medication for a while and you still have symptoms you may not be converting your thyroid hormones very well. THYROSMART may also help correct this.
Ashwagandha and guggal (Comiphora mukul) are two herbs that work together to help improve thyroid activity. Ashwagandha increases the level of T4 thyroid hormone while guggal (Comiphora mukul) enhances the conversion of T4 to the more potent T3 form directly on the thyroid gland. Ninety-five percent of all cases of low thyroid are due to impaired conversion of T4 into T3 in the tissues of the thyroid gland. THYROSMART also contains other important nutrients known to improve thyroid health.
Vitamin D is essential for the manufacture of thyroid hormone. In Canada we tend to see higher rates of low thyroid due to our low exposure to sunlight. We also need tyrosine, found in protein, to make thyroid hormones. Start your day with an egg, a protein shake or a chicken breast. Now that we are eliminating salt from our diet we often do not get enough iodine to support proper thyroid health.
The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in our overall health. If it is not operating at peak performance you won't be able to lose weight or you may have drastic increases in your weight over a short period of time; your hair may thin including your eyebrows; your skin will wrinkle excessively and be dry; and you may experience menstrual problems or severe menopause symptoms. Combine THYROSMART along with your multivitamins (with minerals) and essential fatty acids for optimal health.
