InterPlexus Thyro-Dyne™ Description

  • Tyrosine, Iodine & Botanicals
  • Metabolic Support

Jump start liver, kidney and spleen circulation with InterPlexus Thyro-Dyne, Iodine & Botanicals. InterPlexus Thyro Dyne Metabolic Support contains a special blend of L-Tyrosine, L-Cysteine, Iodine and botanicals to help support thyroid gland production of T4, the pro-hormone which is converted to T3, the active hormone. The thyroid gland is under direct control of the brain via the neurohormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). TSH itself is under the control of another neurohormone, namely Tyrotrophin Releasing Hormone (TRH). TSH stimulates production of the thyroid hormones and also sustains the thyroid gland cells.

 

Common Uses of Thyro-Dyne

  • Easy fatigability
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Cold sensitivity
  • Weight gain
  • Constipation
  • Menstrual abnormalities
  • Muscle cramps

Thyroid Dynamics

T4 is the pro-hormone which is converted to T3, the most active hormone. Some tissues can internalize circulating T4 and convert it locally (for their own use) to active T3 (example: Brain, brown fat tissues). Most other tissue types cannot convert T4 to T3 because they lack a specific enzyme named 5'-deiodinase type II. This inability to make local T3 necessitates that some other tissues make T3 and release it into the circulation for body wide use. The liver, kidney and spleen actually convert T4 to T3 and then release it, thus accounting for about 70% of all the active circulating T3.

 

Type 2, 5'-deiodinasse is predominantly expressed in the brain and pituitary gland to maintain a constant level of intra cellular T3 in the central nervous system. This deiodinase is very sensitive to circulating T4.

 

Thyroidal Autoregulation

  • Humans can maintain normal thyroid hormones secretion with varying amounts of iodide intake.
  • The thyroid gland has the capacity to modify its function to adapt to changes in the availability of iodine.
  • To adapt to the low iodide intake and to oncrease the metabolic effectiveness of the hormone, the gland will make more T3 rather than T4.
  • High iodide intake, on the other hand, inhibits many thyroidal functions including hormone synthesis and secretion.

What is Iodine, and Why Do We Need it in Our Diets?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Like all essential minerals, the consumption of iodine is needed for the body to function properly. We can’t make it on our own, so being sure to include iodine rich foods in your diet is important for maintaining healthy levels. Among its many roles in day-to-day body functions, iodine plays a major role in the production of thyroid hormones. Without enough of the mineral, you can experience a range of thyroid-related symptoms, from fatigue to mood changes.

Concept of What is Iodine Represented by Assortment of Iodine-Rich Foods on Marble Surface | Vitacost.com/blog

What is iodine?

Iodine is an essential mineral that humans get from iodine foods and iodized salts. It’s found naturally in ocean waters and healthy soil, which is why maintaining healthy levels is easy when you eat a balanced diet. While it’s critical to get enough iodine for thyroid function and proper brain and bone development, consuming too much of the mineral can lead to problems. Eating excessive amounts of very high iodine foods, like dried seaweed, or taking iodine supplements may cause excessive amounts to build up in the body, which can be problematic. Most adults are getting enough iodine in their diets, but there are some risk factors for iodine deficiency, including soil nutrient depletion, poor diet and consumption of chemicals found in processed foods that deplete iodine levels. Women who are pregnant and breastfeeding also need to increase their iodine intake for their own health and the health of their babies.

What does iodine do for the body?

Perhaps its most well-known function, iodine is used by the body to create thyroxine (T4 hormone) and triiodothyronine (T3), two hormones that are produced by the thyroid and play a role in many important body processes. Healthy thyroid function relies heavily on proper iodine levels. In addition to its influence on thyroid hormone production, iodine also plays a role in proper brain and bone development during pregnancy and infancy. A iodine deficiency can lead to issues with cognitive function among children, and impair both physical and mental development.

Some iodine benefits to consider

1. Supports thyroid health

Healthy iodine levels are critical for proper thyroid function. The thyroid needs enough of the essential mineral to make major hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which regulate several daily biochemical reactions in the body. These thyroid hormones allow for healthy digestive enzyme activity, amino acid synthesis and skeletal system development. What happens if you don’t produce proper levels of thyroid hormones? You can experience symptoms such as fatigue, changes in weight, joint pain, brain fog and moodiness.

2. Supports child development

Iodine is needed for the early stages of human bone and brain development; it can also impact a baby’s birth weight. This is why it’s so important for pregnant women and infants to get enough iodine from their diets, for women, and breastmilk or formula for babies.

3. Promotes healthy brain function

Iodine plays a role in facilitating brain development and a deficiency in the mineral may cause neurodegenerative impairment. Getting enough iodine for brain health is particularly important among infants and young children.

4. Helps protect against infections

Topicals containing iodine, commonly in liquid form, can be used to prevent infections by fighting bacteria around mild cuts, burns or wounds. It should not, however, be used for deep cuts.

5. Works as water disinfectant

Iodine can be used for disinfecting water; this is sometimes done to disinfect water when there are no clean sources available. Iodine tinctures or tablets can be used, but this method should only be relied on when needed and with special attention on disinfection techniques because it may lead to excessive iodine consumption.

How to get iodine in your diet

Iodine is present in various foods, so it’s quite easy to maintain healthy levels of the mineral with a balanced diet. The ocean provides some of the world’s most iodine-rich foods, including seaweeds like kelp, wakame, kombu and nori. Iodine is also present in the Earth’s soil, but the levels vary, so not all produce will contain the same mineral levels. Some of the best sources of iodine include:
  1. Wild-caught cod
  2. Tuna
  3. Dried kelp
  4. Dried wakame
  5. Dried nori
  6. Yogurt
  7. Grass-fed milk
  8. Cage-free eggs
  9. Grass-fed butter
  10. Cheeses (like cheddar and mozzarella)
  11. Legumes/beans
  12. Barley
  13. Leafy greens
  14. Dried prunes and raisins
  15. Bananas
