This thyroid-balancing blend supports glandular health with kelp and other non-GMO botanicals.

Support proper thyroid function and help maintain balance in the thyroid gland with TS II.

The primary herb in TS II is Kelp, a natural sources of iodine which contributes to hormonal balance, nourishes the thyroid gland and supports thyroid function, and promotes healthy metabolism and energy levels. The supporting herbs include spirulina, parsley leaf, hops flowers and capsicum fruit.

Iodine is an essential trace minerals required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, which affect virtually every system in the body, including metabolic activity, protein synthesis, energy regulation, and enzymatic processes. Iodine is also needed to help regulate body temperature, produce blood cells, and support muscle and nerve functions as well as other bodily operations. Plus, iodine plays an important role in the growth of hair follicles, skin cells and nail beds.

The most common cause of low or sluggish thyroid functioning is too little iodine in the diet. The iodine content of food is dependent on the iodine content of the soil. Oceans hold the greatest content of the world’s iodine. Therefore, the best dietary sources of iodine include seafood, algae and seaweed.

Some research has demonstrated that as many as 40% of the U.S. population have a malfunctioning thyroid, affecting everything from digestion to fertility and immunity.

In addition to supporting the glandular system, the herbal nutrients in TS II have synergistic benefits for supporting the glandular system and a healthy immune response.

As the iodine from kelp enhances the body's metabolism, hops and parsley protect the body from overreacting. Spirulina provides metabolic support, and capsicum, an effective facilitator of many herbal substances, is added to help the body transport and use the companion ingredients of TS II.

Kelp is a type of brown algae that provides a rich supply of nutrients that promote general well being and support healthy digestion, immunity, proper fluid balance and respiratory health. Kelp also supports glandular function and metabolism, healthy kidney function, and proper hormone balance, especially relating to the thyroid gland. Kelp is naturally rich in trace minerals, including potassium, iodine and zinc. Iodine is essential for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and thyroid hormones. Since the thyroid gland acts as the body’s energy thermostat, iodine is needed to help regulate body temperature. By boosting iodine levels, kelp can help support sluggish thyroid function. Kelp also contains large amounts of potassium, and naturally varying amounts of trace minerals, which may be useful in maintaining proper glandular function and metabolism.

Spirulina is a super-food, rich in easily assimilable nutrients. Spirulina contains two-and-a-half times more vitamin B12 than liver, is the best botanical source of complete protein available, and contains several antioxidant-rich carotenoids. Spirulina provides support for the nervous system and healthy brain function. Spirulina is also a well-studied ingredient for metabolic support. It contains many functional bioactive compounds with antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. Studies show that spirulina acts by supporting the antioxidant pathways in the body, which in turn has positive effects on metabolic components.

Parsley is a rich source of nutrients, including numerous vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Parsley contains vitamins A and C which are essential for healthy immune system function. It also contains potassium, which helps balance sodium levels, and manganese to help manage calcium levels and nourish the nerves. Plus, parsley is rich in chlorophyll, a natural deodorizer. Research shows that apigenin, an antioxidant found in parsley, helps regulate immune function and prevents cellular damage.

Hops are a tonic herb that have been used historically to support glandular health. Hops are also a traditional aid for sleep and nervousness. Hops have a calming effect on the nervous system and are a common ingredient in products used to promote restful sleep and relaxation. Hops have also been used to soothe feelings of anxiousness and restlessness and to support gastric function. Hops contain the flavonoid xanthohumol, which possesses antioxidant properties and may help blood vessels relax and improve blood circulation.

Capsicum has a warming strength that stimulates digestion and enhances blood flow, thus promoting healthy circulation of the blood. Widely known for its ability to stimulate circulatory activity, capsicum may promote healthy blood flow in the extremities. Capsicum is added to many herbal formulas as an effective catalyst to help the body transport and use the companion ingredients.
