Hypo-Thyro
Supports bringing the thyroid back up to normal function.
Hypothyroidism is a condition, more common in middle-aged dogs and especially common in Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds and Dobermans.
It is a condition where the thyroid is under-performing in the production of thyroid hormones.
This leads to a sluggish constitution, a slowing down of food processed through the digestive system and a tendency for your dog to gain weight, feel fatigued, feel cold, lose hair, act depressed, have dry skin, have a weakened voice, etc.
The single most important support for the thyroid is from seaweed, Kelp or Bladderwrack; its therapeutic constituent is iodine. It contains 10 times more iodine than any leading land plant.
According to Ryan Drum, Ph.D., a leading authority on herbal treatments of thyroid conditions, “Kelp is the major booster of the thyroid. The highly bio-available organically bound iodine in kelp is responsible for thyroid relief.”
Kelp was first used to dissolve thyroid tumors and goiters thousands of years ago in ancient China where the diet in the mountain villages was iodine deficient and entire villages developed thyroid goiters. These goiters resolved after eating kelp, that was used to keep seafood fresh on the journey from the coast.
