Ingredients explained
L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine serves as a precursor for thyroid hormones and catecholamines, which may support hormone synthesis and metabolic signalling.
Caution: May interact with thyroid medications and stimulants; start with food to reduce potential stomach discomfort.
Iodine (from Potassium Iodide)
Iodine is incorporated into thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which are key hormones that regulate metabolic activity.
Caution: Excess iodine may affect thyroid function, especially in those with thyroid concerns; avoid combining with other high-iodine supplements unless advised.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) standardised extract (min. 2.5% withanolides)
Withanolides are studied for supporting stress adaptation, which may influence the body’s response to daily demands and energy levels.
Caution: May cause drowsiness in some and interact with sedatives; take earlier in the day to assess tolerance.
Zinc (as Zinc L-Methionine)
Zinc acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in hormone conversion and antioxidant defences that support cellular function.
Caution: High-dose zinc may cause nausea on an empty stomach and can reduce copper status over time; take with food.
Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine)
Selenium supports enzymes such as iodothyronine deiodinases that convert T4 to the more active T3.
Caution: Do not combine with multiple selenium-containing products to avoid excessive intake.
How they work together
Tyrosine and iodine provide the building blocks for thyroid hormone synthesis, while selenium and zinc support hormone conversion and enzyme function. Ashwagandha complements these nutrients by supporting the body’s stress response, which is closely linked to perceived energy and daily resilience.
