ThyroCalm Px is a unique formula aimed at providing calming support for an overactive thyroid gland, or hyper-functioning thyroid. The most common form of hyper-functioning thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition wherein the body makes antibodies against receptors that are normally responsible for stimulating the thyroid gland to produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. The antibodies stimulate the thyroid gland to make too much thyroid hormone which can cause palpitations, rapid heart rate, sweating, jitteriness, chest pain, trouble breathing, anxious mood, fever, and other complaints.*

The top priority in the management of the hyper-functioning thyroid is to alleviate any cardiac complaints the patient may be having. In particular, the physician should bring the blood pressure and heart rate within normal limits. People with hyper-functioning thyroids should be managed under the supervision of an experienced clinical medical professional. People with cardiovascular complaints may obtain support from Cardiac Px (Titrate or Capsules), HTN 180 Px, or both.*

The second priority in the management of the hyper-functioning thyroid gland, once any cardiovascular complaints are under control, is working toward supporting the hyper-functioning gland . Considerations can include ThyroCalm Px or ThyroCalm Px plus Adaptogen or Adrenal Px.*

ThyroCalm Px is designed to promote calming of the overactive thyroid. Bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus) has been the subject of modern research which appears to confirm its long history of folk use in balancing thyroid conditions, as it has been shown to reduce thyroid hormone levels in an animal model [Duke]. It is widely combined in Europe with Lemon Balm (Mellisa officinalis), which has experimentally demonstrated the ability to decrease circulating and pituitary TSH levels in injectable form [Duke].*

Side Effects of ThyroCalm Px
None known.

Indications of ThyroCalm Px
ThyroCalm Px provides support for normal thyroid function. In hyper thyroid function, it should be remembered that sometimes the TSH level may get a little worse before it gets better. This is one reason it is important to work with a physician that can help decide when to hang in there with a certain plan and when to try something else.*
