BMR Complex contains:

Iodine (as potassium iodide). The thyroid takes in iodine and combines it with the amino acid tyrosine. The thyroid then converts the iodine/tyrosine into the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).^(1,2)

L-tyrosine. This important amino acid is combined with iodine for the production of T4 and T3.⁽³⁾ It is also a precursor for monoamine neurotransmitters and may provide mood support adjunctive to thyroid function.⁽⁴⁾

Zinc and copper. Adequate levels of zinc are needed for optimal thyroid function. The T3 receptor may require zinc to adopt its biologically active conformation.⁽⁵⁾ Zinc levels appear to correlate to thyroid function.^(6-8) Zinc and copper must be supplemented together.⁽⁹⁾

Thyroxine-free thyroid glandular extract provides nutritional support of healthy thyroid function.⁽¹⁰⁾ Freeze drying is a gentle process and ideal for thyroid glandulars as it allows vitamins, co-factors, and enzymes to remain intact. Intact absorption of high-molecular weight macromolecules is known to occur. Pharmacologically active peptides resulting from the digestion of proteins, such as those found in glandulars, have been shown to reach the peripheral.
