Meda-Stim™ is formulated to provide nutritional support for healthy thyroid function, primarily by supplying nutrients that support the conversion of T4 to T3. They include essential micronutrients such as B vitamins, Iodine, Selenium and Zinc. Also included are supportive nutrients such as the amino acids L-Tyrosine and L-Glutathione, along with specific botanical support
In the bloodstream, T3 and T4 are carried by thyroine-binding globulin, thyroxine binding prealbumin and serum albumin. T4 is converted to T3 by the liver, lungs, kidneys and heart by a selenium-dependent enzyme called Iodothyronine-5'monodeiodinase. T3 is then taken up by appropriate target cells, where it is transported to the nucleus to activate transcription.
Medastim may contribute to normal thyroid function without the use of glandulars. It may also contribute to thyroid health by helping the body to adjust to thyroid fluctuations and by way of supporting the conversion of T4 to T3.
