Iodine Co-Factors™

Designed to be used in combination with Tri-Iodine™ or other iodine-containing thyroid support products, Thyroid Care™ contains vitamins and minerals shown to aid iodine in thyroid function.*

Niacin and riboflavin
The B vitamins, niacin and riboflavin, work with iodine in the synthesis of thyroxine (T4). Low levels of these nutrients can lead to reduced thyroid function.*1-3

Magnesium
Magnesium support thyroid hormone activity and aids in the regulation of thyroid function.*4,5

Manganese
Manganese is essential for proper thyroid hormone metabolism.*6

Selenium
Selenium acts synergistically with iodine and plays a role in iodine’s availability to cells. Additionally, selenium protects the thyroid gland from oxidative stress which may occur during the conversion of iodide to iodine.*7,8

Iodine Co-Factors™

Manganese is considered an essential trace mineral, meaning that it is vital for body function but only small amounts are needed. The name manganese is derived from the ancient Greek word for “magic.” While we know that manganese is not magical, it does have several very important roles to play in the body. Manganese is important for the function of many enzymes, for the breakdown of fats and cholesterol, skin repair, bone formation, carbohydrate metabolism, thyroid hormone production, and more.*

Iodine Co-Factors™

Synergistic Factors Optimize Iodine Absorption*

Product Number: 36009 - 90 Capsules

Dietary Supplement

3 capsules daily.

Iodine (Tri-Iodine™ from EuroPharma) is a very important mineral and has significant health benefits for thyroid and entire cell and metabolic function. Iodine can support thyroid, breast, ovaries, uterus and prostate function. Iodine is one of the most alkaline substances and detoxifies the body of bromide, chlorine and fluoride. Dr. Szent-Györgyi, discoverer of vitamin C, said it was the most magical and miracle medicines in the world. Many holistic doctors believe it is impossible to lead a good healthy life without iodine. However, some people have a cellular resistance to iodine, similar to insulin resistance. Iodine Co-Factors™ contain the necessary elements that are required to increase iodine absorption and assimilation.

   • Improves iodine absorption at the cellular level
   • Use along with our Terry Naturally Tri-Iodine or Thyroid Care products
      for optimal health
   • These nutrients play an important role in transportation of iodine
      to the cells.
   • Reduces iodine resistance
   • Maximizes iodine absorption
   • No flush niacin
   • In addition to its role in iodine metabolism, niacin has been shown to
      increase healthy HDL cholesterol and maintain healthy
      cholesterol already within normal limits*
