BioThy

1 capsule two times daily with food. Safe for long-term use.

BioThy contains a combination of minerals, amino acids, and protein to support normal thyroid function, through the improved production and secretion of thyroid hormones. Deficiency in zinc, selenium, or iodine may result in low thyroid function and increase the risk of developing goiter and hypothyroidism. (14)(15)(17)  BioThy works to restore and maintain healthy thyroid function and address iodine, zinc, or selenium deficiency.

Hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) results when the thyroid gland does not produce and secrete enough thyroid hormone, affecting 4.6% of the population. (1)(2) Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, brittle thinning hair and hair loss, dry skin, memory issues and low mood, hoarseness, muscle aches and weakness, libido and fertility issues, and chilliness. (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)

BioThy thyroid health benefits:

  • Maintains normal thyroid function (9)(10)(13)(15)
  • Supports production of thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (9)(11)(14)(16)(17)
  • Converts T4 to the bioactive T3 form of thyroid hormone (11)
  • Protects the thyroid from inflammation and free radical damage (12)
  • Produces thyroglobulin, a precursor to making thyroid hormones (T3, T4) (18)
  • Decreases cognitive fatigue due to physically stressful situations (19)
  • Improves symptoms associated with low thyroid function
  • Prevents iodine, zinc, or selenium deficiency

Key features: Supports and maintains normal thyroid function, antioxidant and multi-mineral, increases production and secretion of T3 and T4 thyroid hormones, thyroglobulin precursor to T3 and T4 hormones, converts T4 to bioactive T3 thyroid hormone, increases the production of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), improves cognitive fatigue due to stress, and prevents iodine, zinc, and selenium deficiency.
