Thyroid Script™

Thyroid Script is a one-of-a-kind nutritional supplement that supports healthy thyroid function and the natural absorption and activation of thyroid hormone.*  Thyroid Script also supports a healthy metabolism, which can assist weight management efforts, while also promoting energy production and brain function.*

It’s possible that you may be able to take both; however, taking Thyroid Script in addition to a prescription thyroid medication must be discussed with your health-care practitioner.  Although Thyroid Script does not provide your body with thyroid hormone, it does contain nutrients that promote the formation of inactive thyroid hormone (T4), while also protecting your thyroid gland and liver so you can more efficiently make, activate, and use thyroid hormone.* 

This makes it easier for your body to produce and utilize active thyroid hormone (T3).*  This in turn supports weight management, body temperature, cognitive health, energy production, and lipid health, common situations among individuals struggling to maintain healthy thyroid function.*

It’s up to you. Because Thyroid Script contains ingredients that can give you a sense of energy or well-being,* most individuals don’t take it at night.  For some individuals, however, the ashwagandha in it can make a person drowsy, so if you notice that it makes you drowsy, then yes, take it at night or bedtime.  Ashwagandha can also help provide a more restful, deeper sleep.*  But again, most individuals who take it feel a heightened sense of alertness,* so you will just have to experiment and see how you feel on it. 

Most individuals do start with two capsules; however, if you're sensitive to things, start with 1 capsule in the morning and see how you feel the first few days. You can even empty out half of one capsule for an even lower serving size, if you’re extremely sensitive, and then you can increase thereafter.  The optimal serving size for most individuals is 2 capsules daily, however sometimes we hear that 1 capsule per day worked well.  The reason for the variance is because every individual has their own baseline level of thyroid hormone, as well as varying rates of T3 conversion.* 

Thyroid Script does not contain milk, egg, fish, gluten, corn, peanuts, crustacean shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, wheat, yeast, or rice.  In addition, Thyroid Script does not contain hidden fillers, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavors, or sugar. 

No, there are no animal glandulars of any sort in any of my Script Essentials formulas.  I do not believe that glandulars are safe for everyone, especially if someone has multiple medical issues.  Furthermore, there is the risk of reacting adversely to foreign animal tissue or the risk of there being bacterial contamination of animal tissue.  Animal glands can have the residues of every pollutant the animal was exposed to.  As good as quality control evaluations are, laboratories simply cannot test for all the different possible contaminants, so for this reason, Thyroid Script does not contain animal glandulars.

Your body has its own natural digestive enzyme for gluten called “dipeptidyl peptidase-IV” or DPPIV.  Individuals who are deficient in this enzyme have trouble breaking down difficult-to-digest proteins.  Partial digestion of gluten can exasperate the gastrointestinal tract, inflame the small intestine, launch an immune response, and attack the thyroid gland.  The inclusion of DPPIV is intended to help your body metabolize gluten.* 

No, Thyroid Script does not contain any of those stimulants, nor does it contain yohimbine, bitter orange, kola nut, or khat.  There are no stimulants in Thyroid Script.  I am not opposed to these natural stimulants, I simply don’t see the need for them in this formula because Thyroid Script is designed to help your body produce, activate, and integrate thyroid hormone,* so there is no need for a stimulant. 

As an expert in thyroid health, I know that most individuals are fully capable of making thyroid hormone from these two compounds when you get them in your diet.  The problem for many individuals, however, is activating thyroid hormone to its biologically active form, and then getting it into the cells and the mitochondria.*  The nutrients in Thyroid Script not only assist you in producing some thyroid hormone, they also assist you in using the thyroid hormone you have.*

Yes, Thyroid Script is vegan.

Most individuals are a bit low in iodine due to dietary or medication interference so the addition of a small amount of iodine is included in the Thyroid Script formula.  Iodine is used to build T4 hormone (thyroxine), which is naturally secreted from the thyroid gland.*  Iodine is also needed to convert the inactive T4 hormone to T3 hormone (the biologically active thyroid hormone).*  There are only 500 micrograms of iodine in Thyroid Script.  While it might appear that this amount is high – because the Daily Value amount indicated on the label is 333 percent – it is really not that much iodine.

You should realize that stand-alone iodine supplements typically contain as much as 11 milligrams of iodine in them!  That’s a lot, and individuals take those iodine supplements one to four times daily depending on their iodine requirements.  So with Thyroid Script having only 500 micrograms, that’s only four percent of the amount of iodine you might get from a standard over-the-counter iodine supplement, so yes, that amount is safe.  In addition, individuals with Hashimoto’s can often benefit from a small amount of iodine, but the answer to this type of question is for your health-care practitioner.

There are only 500 micrograms of iodine in Thyroid Script.  Compare that to 11 milligrams of iodine in most iodine supplements.  There are 1,000 micrograms in one milligram, by the way.  So the amount of iodine in Thyroid Script is only four percent the amount of iodine in most other stand-alone iodine supplements.

To help you compare, here’s the amount of iodine you get from food:  (1) the dried seaweed in a sushi roll has 4,500 mcg iodine; (2) one cup of yogurt contains about 80 mcg iodine; (3) three ounces of cod contains about 100 mcg; (4) ¼ teaspoon of iodized salt contains about 70 mcg.  Symptoms of excess iodine consumption include diarrhea, stomach upset, palpitations, acne, and thirst.

No, the formula contains an adrenal adaptogen that helps nourish your body over a period of time, perhaps 6 months. It also helps with thyroid hormone activation. Some people can stop taking it, while others don't want to. It is very individual, and there are no harmful effects from taking it on a daily basis. Unlike other formula for thyroid, Thyroid Script does NOT shut down your own production of hormone, it simply helps activate more T3 conversion, while supporting stress (adrenal) function.* You may start and stop the formula any time.
