Thyax manufacturer: Progressive Health (http://www.thyax.com/)
Thyax ingredients:
- Acetyl L-Tyrosine, L-tyrosine complex- Tyrosine is required for synthesis of thyroid hormones, and deficiency of phenylalanine and L-tyrosine has been associated with hypothyroidism.
- Zinc - Required for the manufacture of thyroid hormones, zinc is also necessary for overall growth and development.
- L-Phenylalanine - As a precursor to the amino acid tyrosine, phenylalanine plays an important role in thyroid function.
- Iodine - Iodine is a trace element that is required for thyroid hormone synthesis.
- Selenium - Selenium (in the form of selenoproteins) is necessary for the production and conversion of thyroid hormones.
- Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum - These trace minerals are closely tied to thyroid function.
- Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2 ,Vitamin B3 ,Vitamin B5 - These B vitamins are essential for energy production, mood, nervous system function and wound healing. One of the main complaints of hypothyroidism is fatigue, which is mostly caused by low levels of thyroid hormone, but may also be the result of low B vitamin status.
- Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid - Required for optimal function of the nervous and immune systems, these B vitamins are useful in reducing levels of homocysteine, a detrimental amino acid associated with heart disease. Patients with hypothyroidism have significantly higher plasma levels of homocysteine. Supplementation with vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid can lower homocysteine.
