Promotes thyroid health & functioning, plus healthy energy levels Thyroid Assist is a 100% herbal formula which contains the following carefully selected herbs in therapeutic dosage:

• Fucus vesiculosis (Bladderwrack or kelp) is a sea vegetable which is a prime source of iodine – an ingredient that can greatly aid thyroid support. It has been used therapeutically for thousands of years, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Studies have investigated its support of the thyroid. (Clark CD, Bassett B, Burge MR. “Effects of kelp supplementation on thyroid function in euthyroid subjects.” Endocr Pract 2003;9(5):363-369. ) Please note: When using kelp as a therapeutic supplement, always make sure that the kelp used is sourced by a reputable and trusted company. Kelp harvested from the beach or near to the coast may be contaminated with industrial waste, sewerage, lead, mercury or other toxins. Kelp used in Native Remedies Thyroid Assist has been harvested only from uncontaminated areas and screened for the presence of toxins and contamination.
• Avena sativa (Green Oats) is a general tonic traditionally used in folk medicine as well as in modern herbalism. Avena sativa is said to help alleviate common nervous irritability that can sometimes ruin your day. Derived from the wild oat plant, it is rumored to support healthy sexual function (we’ve all heard the sexual metaphor: ‘sowing your wild oats’!). Active ingredients are saponins, flavonoids, minerals, alkaloids, steroidal compounds, Vitamins B1, B2, D, E, carotene and wheat protein. (Connor J, Connor T, Marshall PB, et al. “The pharmacology of Avena sativa.” J Pharm Pharmacol 1975;27(2):92-98.)
• Coleus forskohlii (Makandi) is a well respected and often rare Ayurvedic (Indian) remedy. Clinical trials have shown that forskolin (a chemical found in coleus) may help to support thyroid hormone secretion. (Saunier B, Dib K, Delemer B, et al. Cyclic AMP regulation of Gs protein. “Thyrotropin and forskolin increase the quantity of stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding proteins in cultured thyroid follicles.” J Biol Chem 1990;265(32):19942-19946. ) (Roger PP, Servais P, Dumont JE. ‘Regulation of dog thyroid epithelial cell cycle by forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator’.
