How is hypothyroidism diagnosed?

Hypothyroidism is relatively easily to diagnose by means of a blood test to check TSH levels (the thyroid stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland) and T4 levels (the main thyroid hormone).

Remember that these levels can vary considerably from individual to individual and what is 'normal' for one person is not necessarily normal for another.

Doctors must be sensitive to the correlation between symptoms and TSH and T4 levels in the individual. Because the 'normal' range varies from person to person, some people may have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism (and their symptoms), while blood tests show that their TSH and T4 levels are normal.

What is Thyroid Assist?

Thyroid Assist contains herbs that have been carefully selected for their beneficial effect on thyroid functioning, as well as on overall systemic health.

Regular use of Thyroid Assist can help to restore deficient iodine levels, while also stimulating the thyroid to produce crucial thyroid hormones, thereby treating hypothyroidism.

Note: Thyroid Assist is formulated for hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), please refer to ThyroSoothe for hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)

 Thyroid Assist contains the following herbal extracts in therapeutic dosage:

Fucus vesiculosis, also called Bladderwrack or kelp, is a sea vegetable which is a prime source of iodine - crucial in preventing thyroid problems. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Apart from its beneficial effect on thyroid functioning, it is also used as a metabolic stimulant and can be found in many slimming remedies. When using kelp medicinally, always make sure that it is sourced by a reputable and trusted company. Kelp harvested from the beach or near to the coast may be contaminated with industrial waste, sewerage, lead, mercury or other toxins. Kelp used in Native Remedies Thyroid Assist has been harvested only from uncontaminated areas and screened for the presence of toxins, heavy metal sand contamination.

Avena sativa is derived from the wild oat plant and is a well known restorative and nerve tonic, used to treat depression, low libido and lack of energy, as well as hypothyroidism. More recently it has also been shown to be effective in reducing high cholesterol levels.

Coleus forskohlii is a well respected and often difficult to obtain Ayurvedic (Indian) remedy, traditionally used to treat high blood pressure. It also acts to stimulate the thyroid to release thyroid hormones and is therefore beneficial in the treatment of hypothyroidism.

Can I use Thyroid Assist along with my prescription medication for Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's?

Yes, you can. However, using Thyroid Assist may mean that you will need less of your prescription medication and it is therefore strongly recommended that you ask your doctor to monitor thyroid functioning and adjust the dosage of your prescription medication if necessary.
