All About ThyroLife: Optima & Multi-Preventive

Get rid of the confusion! Most people don’t know what to take and what not to take when it comes to vitamins and antioxidants. There is a great deal of concern that many commercially available supplements contain vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and herbs that have either not been studied or are present in the wrong amounts. Some of them contain either too much or too little of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. Plus, the amounts of some of these supplements may not correlate with the claimed amounts. You should not be confused any longer! If you are looking for a healthy, well-proportioned, and well-balanced combination, ThyroLife may be an excellent choice for you. These supplements will provide you with exactly what you need. It will prevent vitamin and antioxidant depletion and fight the free radicals and their damaging effects to protect your thyroid, brain, and body. Micronutrients, vitamins and antioxidants included in ThyroLife Optima and ThyroLife Multi-Preventive will enhance your metabolism and improve your energy.

What are damaging free radicals?

During normal metabolism, cells in the body produce highly oxygenated compounds called free radicals, which are toxic to the cells. A buildup of free radicals from bodily metabolism causes damage to your organs, including the cardiovascular system and the brain. Free radicals also weaken the immune system. Free radicals damage cells and harm the genes which tell cells what to do and not to do, which can promote cancer. Free radicals can also damage your thyroid gland and impair its function.

What is an anti-oxidant?

An antioxidant is a natural compound that has the ability to bind and neutralize free radicals in your body. When you take proper amounts of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, this will help you minimize the buildup of the “bad guys” and will improve your cell's health. Getting rid of free radicals will allow the cells to live longer and be healthier, plus will slow premature aging.

Why is the adequate intake of essential nutrients for thyroid patients crucial for optimal health ?

• A thyroid imbalance promotes accumulation of damaging free radicals in your system. It can also deplete the antioxidants that normally clear your system of free radicals.
• Thyroid imbalance puts you at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Antioxidants and certain vitamins are crucial for lowering cardiovascular risk and brain damage and improving cognition and brain function. Recent research has shown that thyroid patients are at a much higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
• Thyroid patients are vulnerable to depression, low mood, anxiety, and weight issues, even after correction of the thyroid imbalance with treatment. Antioxidants help neurotransmitters work better and will help with improving mood and anxiety. They are also an important component of the weight management program.
• Antioxidants help anti-thyroid medications work more effectively in patients with Graves' disease.
• Disturbances of the immune system are the most common reasons for having a thyroid imbalance. Vitamins and antioxidants support the immune system and help minimize the attacks on the thyroid.
• Thyroid imbalance promotes degenerative damage to the brain. Antioxidants help prevent cognitive impairment and aid in the prevention of degenerative damage to the brain.

Major Benefits of the vitamins and anti-oxidants found in ThyroLife Multi-Preventive and Optima

• They are essential for the thyroid gland to produce normal amounts of thyroid hormone (selenium, zinc, Vitamin A, B2, B3, B6, C and E)
• They are essential for making thyroid hormones work efficiently in your system to create optimal metabolism.
• They can enhance your metabolism and help you lose weight if you stick to a good diet and exercise. Some of them are crucial for generation of energy in the cell and burning fat stores.
• They are essential for proper functioning of the immune system. The supplements included in ThyroLife reduce the risk of autoimmune reaction on your thyroid gland (Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the most common causes of thyroid imbalance).
• They are crucial for optimal regulation of mood, cognition, and behavior through effects on brain chemicals. They also help hormone-related mood changes (pyridoxine, thiamine, B1).
• They are very important in lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease and lowering your homocysteine levels.
• They reduce the risk of degenerative damage to the brain.

ThyroLife Optima and ThyroLife Multi-Preventive contain the right amount of vitamin D to keep your Vitamin D levels in an optimal range.

How to select Thyrolife Optima versus Thyrolife Multipreventive
Thyrolife Multipreventive is made of only vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. It does not contain essential amino acids or herbs. It’s a complete clean and pure mix of vitamins and antioxidants and could be adequate for thyroid patients who do not have residual symptoms or who have had a mild thyroid imbalance. If you are sensitive to herbs or are reluctant to take herbs this maybe the best multivitamin antioxidant mix for you. Thyrolife Multipreventive is also highly recommended for your relatives who may be genetically pre-disposed to autoimmune thyroid conditions because of the all the beneficial effects of this mix on the immune system and the thyroid. In fact Thyrolife Multipreventive could be used as a multivitamin, even if you do not suffer from a thyroid condition.

Thyrolife Optima is made up of exactly the same vitamins, antioxidants and minerals as Thyrolife Multipreventive and in the same amounts plus the essential amino acids including tyrosine (which is crucial for the manufacture of thyroid hormone) as well as a few herbs in the right amounts that promote energy and enhance metabolism. So if you suffer from fatigue and you are not feeling at your best despite adequate thyroid hormone treatment this would be the choice for you. 

Never take Thyrolife optima and Thyrolife Multipreventive simultaneously, you need to choose one or the other.
