Sluggish Thyroid Bundle

Return to Stock ETA 17th October

Low thyroid function/ hypothyroidism is thought to impact 1 in 33 Australians and Levothyroxine is the 2nd most prescribed medication in Western Countries with an estimated 23 million Americans on it. Levothyroxine dose nothing to improve the underlying disease state hence why we’ve created this bundle.

When used in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary changes, positive long lasting change can be seen.

Despite its lesser-known status, Selenium is involved in numerous critical processes in the body. It acts as a powerful antioxidant, supports thyroid function, boosts the immune system, and even plays a role in detoxification.

Selenium is particularly important for those with thyroid conditions, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. The thyroid gland contains more selenium per gram of tissue than any other organ in the body, highlighting its importance in thyroid function.

Selenium is involved in the conversion of thyroxine (T4) to the more active triiodothyronine (T3), which is crucial for regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance. Adequate selenium levels can help reduce thyroid inflammation and may even slow the progression of autoimmune thyroid diseases. For those managing thyroid health, incorporating selenium-rich foods into the diet can be a powerful tool in supporting overall thyroid function.

Selenium also supports the immune system. In the context of thyroid health, this is particularly important for individuals with autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. These conditions involve the immune system attacking the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and dysfunction. By supporting immune function, selenium can help moderate this immune response and reduce thyroid inflammation.

Iodine is indispensable for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are integral to regulating your body’s metabolic rate – the speed at which your body converts food into energy. When iodine is in short supply, the thyroid gland struggles to produce sufficient amounts of these hormones, leading to a slowed metabolism and potential thyroid-related health issues such as hypothyroidism.

One of the most noticeable effects of a sluggish metabolism is persistent fatigue and low energy. Since iodine plays a key role in thyroid hormone production, a deficiency can result in reduced thyroid function, leading to feelings of tiredness and decreased motivation. An iodine deficiency can lead to common low thyroid function symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, brain fog, constipation, dry skin and hair loss.

By incorporating iodine-rich foods into your diet and or supplementation where moderate to severe deficiency is present, you can support your thyroid and potentially alleviate symptoms of poor thyroid function.

It is absolutely well worth conducting a Urine Iodine Test with Co Factors to see where ones iodine and selenium levels stand as 50% of all reproductive age women fall well under baseline levels for both these co-factors. Australians can self order this test through I Screen here.

NXGEN Grass Fed Beef Thyroid is a whole food dietary supplement that provides natural desiccated thyroid (with liver). Glandular whole foods naturally provide nutrients, proteins, peptides, enzymes and cofactors to nourish, balance and support thyroid health. The addition of liver fills nutrition gaps.* Grass Fed Beef Thyroid is a natural, whole food dietary supplement, unlike Armour, Naturethroid, Westhroid-P (WP) and NP Thyroid which use concentrated USP thyroid extracts derived from porcine glandular tissue and chemical processes.

The theory of glandular’s is not comparable to prescription medicines harboring T4 & T3.  Prescription T3 & T4 medicine contains no peptides, amino acids, co-factors, enzymes, vitamins and mineral that are all necessary for our own thyroid to function correctly.

Glandulars support like for like  using natural mechanisms from their holistic nutrient qualities, that include thyroid specific peptides, amino acids, co-factors, vitamins and minerals.

When taking Beef Thyroid there may be some experimentation to work out optimal dose. People with hypothyroidism usually begin with 6 capsules a day and every 2 weeks increase by 2 capsules until their optimal dose is achieved by testing and working with their health practitioner. Many people also monitor their own condition and health to assist with optimal dose and with the help of their health practitioner have achieved results that allow them to move off synthetic prescription thyroid medications.
