Ingredients explained
L-Tyrosine
L-tyrosine is a building block for thyroid hormones and catecholamine neurotransmitters, which may support hormone production and stress-related cognitive function.
Caution: May interact with thyroid medications or stimulants; monitor because it can affect hormone and neurotransmitter levels.
Iodine (from Potassium Iodide)
Iodine is required by the thyroid gland to synthesize the hormones T3 and T4.
Caution: Excess iodine may be uncomfortable for sensitive individuals or those with thyroid concerns; follow the suggested use unless advised otherwise.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) standardized to min. 2.5% withanolides
Ashwagandha contains withanolides that are studied for supporting stress resilience and normal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity.
Caution: May cause drowsiness or stomach upset in some people; avoid combining with sedatives without guidance.
Selenium (from L-Selenomethionine)
Selenium supports the activity of deiodinase enzymes that convert T4 to the more active T3 and also supports antioxidant defenses in thyroid tissue.
Caution: High intakes may be uncomfortable; keep total daily selenium from all sources within recommended limits.
Zinc (from Zinc L-methionine)
Zinc is involved in thyroid hormone metabolism and receptor function and supports normal immune and enzymatic activity.
Caution: Can cause nausea on an empty stomach and may interact with certain antibiotics; take with food and separate from medications when advised.
How they work together
Tyrosine and iodine provide core raw materials for thyroid hormone synthesis, while selenium and zinc support hormone activation and receptor-related processes. Ashwagandha adds adaptogenic support that may help with stress-related demands on the neuroendocrine system.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if taking thyroid, mood-altering, or CNS depressant medications. Not intended for pregnant or nursing women. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have a thyroid disorder or a known stomach ulcer. Tyrosine is contraindicated in alkaptonuria and in tyrosinemia types I and II. May cause mild, temporary gastrointestinal upset; discontinue if symptoms persist. Discontinue use if rash or itching occurs.
Who should be cautious: People with thyroid disorders, stomach ulcers, or inborn errors of metabolism affecting tyrosine should seek medical guidance. Those using mood-altering or CNS depressant medications, or thyroid medications, should consult a healthcare provider before use.
