“The thyroid, the ‘master regulator’, nearly every cell in the body has a receptor for it, thus it can affect nearly every part of the body. T.H.Y is dedicated to supporting and optimizing the thyroid. Clients who experience unexpected weight gain, tiredness, brain fog and overall loss of vitality often discover that they have insufficient production from their thyroid. T.H.Y gently balances the output of thyroid hormones supports function.” Dr. Michelle 





T.H.Y™

Comprehensive Nutritional Support for Thyroid Health

T.H.Y™ is designed to provide optimal nutritional support for the thyroid gland, promoting healthy hormone levels, metabolic function, and overall vitality.* With a blend of essential nutrients and botanicals, T.H.Y.™ supports hormone synthesis, conversion of T4 to T3, and the maintenance of healthy thyroid function.*



Key Features of T.H.Y™

  • Thyroid Hormone Building Blocks: Contains tyrosine and iodine, essential for thyroid hormone synthesis.*

  • Selenium for Hormone Conversion: Supports the conversion of T4 into the more active T3 hormone.*

  • Vitamin A for Hormone Activation: Promotes the activation of thyroid hormone receptors and healthy gland function.*

  • Adaptogenic Support: American ginseng and Coleus forskohlii may help balance cortisol and enhance metabolic health.*

  • Trace Minerals: Includes chromium, zinc, and manganese to support insulin sensitivity and thyroid hormone activity.*



T.H.Y is a carefully formulated supplement designed to naturally support thyroid health and optimize thyroid hormone function. The thyroid gland, often known as the "master regulator" of metabolism, requires a variety of nutrients to produce hormones and maintain balance. This unique blend of nutrients and botanical extracts has been specially crafted to provide comprehensive support for healthy thyroid function and hormone levels.

Key Ingredients in T.H.Y:

  • Tyrosine, Potassium Iodide, and SeleniumThese essential nutrients are fundamental for thyroid hormone production and the conversion of T4 to T3. Tyrosine serves as the building block for thyroid hormones, while iodine is concentrated in the thyroid gland and necessary for hormone synthesis. Selenium plays a critical role in the conversion of T4 into the more active T3 form. Combined, these ingredients help support optimal thyroid function and overall metabolic health.³

  • Vitamin AVitamin A is a vital nutrient for thyroid function. It helps activate thyroid hormone receptors, ensuring proper thyroid activity. Research shows that vitamin A supports the health of the thyroid gland and helps regulate TSH levels. Supplementation with vitamin A has been shown to have a positive impact on thyroid function, especially in individuals with iodine deficiencies or hypothyroid conditions.4-9

  • Coleus forskohliiThis botanical extract, derived from a plant in the mint family, contains forskolin, which stimulates the enzyme adenylate cyclase and increases cAMP levels in the body. cAMP plays an important role in thyroid hormone secretion and lipolysis, the process of breaking down fat in adipose tissue. Forskolin's ability to promote fat loss and enhance thyroid hormone function makes it a valuable addition to T.H.Y.10-19

  • Chromium, Zinc, and ManganeseThese minerals support thyroid health by improving insulin sensitivity and regulating blood glucose. Elevated insulin levels can interfere with thyroid hormone production, so optimizing blood sugar balance can facilitate healthy thyroid function. Chromium, zinc, and manganese help maintain proper insulin sensitivity, stabilize thyroid hormone receptors, and ensure efficient thyroid hormone action.20-21

  • American Ginseng and CopperAmerican Ginseng helps regulate cortisol levels, reduce stress, and support healthy dopamine and serotonin levels. Copper is essential for dopamine metabolism, contributing to fat breakdown and weight management. These adaptogenic and metabolic-supporting ingredients enhance the overall effectiveness of T.H.Y in promoting healthy thyroid function.22,23

T.H.Y provides a scientifically backed, natural solution to support thyroid health. By delivering essential nutrients and botanicals, this formula helps optimize thyroid hormone production, conversion, and cellular receptor sensitivity, allowing your thyroid to function at its best for optimal metabolic health and well-being.
