This supplement from Naka's Platinum Ultra line is formulated to provide targeted support for the thyroid gland. It is generally composed of a combination of essential nutrients (minerals and amino acids) known to play a role in the production of thyroid hormones and in protection against oxidative stress.
Benefits (Potential)
Naka Platinum Ultra Thyroid is typically used to:
- Aid in the maintenance of normal thyroid function.
- Provide antioxidants that help protect cells against damage from free radicals.
- Supply crucial nutrients for the synthesis of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4).
Medicinal Ingredients and Their Roles
This product effectively combines essential building blocks (L-Tyrosine, Iodine, minerals) with adaptogens (Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, Guggul) to offer comprehensive support.
Medicinal Ingredient |
Dosage |
Primary Role (Thyroid & Metabolism) |
L-Tyrosine |
300 mg |
A crucial amino acid; it is the fundamental precursor for thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). It is also a precursor for neurotransmitters important for mood and focus (dopamine, norepinephrine). |
Sensoril Ashwagandha (8:1) |
100 mg |
A highly regarded adaptogenic herb. Helps the body manage stress (reduces cortisol), which can positively impact thyroid function since chronic stress can imbalance it. Some studies suggest it may help increase T4 levels. |
Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum, 10:1) |
75 mg |
Also an adaptogenic herb (Tulsi). Helps modulate the stress response and has antioxidant properties that protect the thyroid gland from oxidative stress. |
Guggul (2.5% Guggulsterone) |
60 mg |
An Ayurvedic resin extract traditionally used to support metabolism. Guggulsterones may influence iodine uptake by the thyroid and the conversion of thyroid hormones. |
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) |
50 mg |
Essential for the synthesis of Coenzyme A and the production of hormones, particularly adrenal hormones (cortisol), which work closely with the thyroid to manage stress and energy. |
Iodine (Potassium iodide) |
150 mcg |
The fundamental component of thyroid hormones (T4 contains 4 iodine atoms, T3 contains 3). 150 mcg is the recommended daily intake for most adults. |
Selenium (Selenomethionine) |
200 mcg |
A trace element indispensable to the thyroid. It is necessary for the activity of enzymes (deiodinases) that convert the inactive T4 hormone into active T3. It is also a powerful thyroid antioxidant. |
Zinc (Zinc citrate) |
250 mcg |
A key mineral involved in the synthesis of TSH and thyroid hormones. It is essential for the proper action of the T3 hormone at the cellular receptor level. |
Copper (Copper (II) gluconate) |
25 mcg |
Copper is important for metabolism and works synergistically with other minerals. Its inclusion at a low dose is often done to maintain a balance with Zinc, as high zinc supplementation can reduce copper levels. |
