“The thyroid gland is the body’s internal thermostat, regulating the temperature by secreting two hormones that control how quickly the body burns calories and uses energy. Hypothyroidism is caused by an underproduction of thyroid hormone. […] The most common symptoms are fatigue and intolerance to cold. If you consistently feel cold while others around you are hot, you may be suffering from reduced thyroid function.”

Recommended Herbs
Here are a few of my favorite products to help bring that thyroid back up and into balance!
Prolomine Iodine
Prolamine Iodine or Prolamine Iodine Plus is for short-term use for patients who may need a high dose of iodine. It provides thyroid support.*
- Contains organic kelp — a whole food source of iodine
- Contains 3 mg of iodine, the most in any of our iodine products
Prolamine iodine (zein) is the main source of iodine in this product. The iodine is prepared as a Lugol’s solution of 2:1, potassium iodide (KI): iodine (I2). This aqueous solution creates a unique triiodide form (KI3) which forms stable bonds with both starch and protein in organic cornmeal from the Standard Process farm.
