Rebalancing the close link between the thyroid and adrenals

When we experience chronic stress, our thyroid gland and adrenals try to adapt as best they can by increasing their metabolism. With an unbalanced diet and nutritional deficiencies, the presence of endocrine disruptors and lack of exercise, these glands end up responding in a maladaptive way. This results in problems with concentration and memorization, an alteration of mood, digestive and sleep disorders and even the appearance of pain.

Where do we help?

Often, we recommend adrenal support when it may be the thyroid that is calling on the adrenals to work harder. Indeed, when the thyroid pulls back, it commands the adrenals to take over to preserve the functioning of cellular energy metabolism. However, this request may become too demanding and require outside help.

Working as a team is the key!

However, the AOR company offers two products working together to rebalance the interaction between the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands.

Thyro Support

First, the Thyro Support formula contains two plants, Bacopa and Coleus forskohlii. These improve the production of thyroid hormones as well as the conversion of T4 into its active form, T3. It also contains L-tyrosine since this amino acid is a precursor to thyroid hormones. We also added a reasonable dose of iodine. Finally, copper and zinc act as a catalyst while selenium reduces the oxidative processes caused by the production of thyroid hormones.

Ortho Adapt

Then, the Ortho Adapt formula, in the original andvegan version of AOR, contains numerous plants that have been studied for their abilities to improve our adaptation to stress. Via its “cortisol-mimetic” action, licorice provides a stimulating effect for tired people. The addition of Siberian ginseng promotes recovery from intellectual stress and provides greater clarity of mind. Moreover, the incorporation of rhodiola, which is widely studied among students and athletes, improves intellectual and physical performance. The final herb is Ashwaghanda, added to support the thyroid, promote peace of mind and improve sleep quality. In addition to these plants, the formula contains vitamins B5 and C which support the production of catecholamines. Finally, the adrenal gland extract found in the original version provides nutrients and further supports their healthy functioning.

Seek professional advice

Since these formulas contain plants that provide a stimulating effect and may have drug interactions, check with your pharmacist or doctor beforehand to determine if the product is right for you.
