I can say that we do have many customers who do re-order Thyroid Support on a regular basis and this is definitely one of the top 10 blends here at ZooScape.com! One of our customers, Rhonda, gave this product 5 stars in her review and wrote, 'I am extremely happy with your thyroid support products. The relief they provide from my symptoms have been great!'
Thyroid Support by TerraVita is an herbal blend specifically designed to help thyroid conditions and contains Bugleweed, Motherwort and Lemon Balm.
The main use of Bugleweed is treating hyperthyroidism. Lithospermic acid and other organic acids are believed to be responsible for bugleweed’s activity. These acids decrease levels of several hormones in the body, particularly thyroid-stimulating hormones and the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). Bugleweed inhibits the binding of antibodies to the thyroid gland. These antibodies can cause the most common form of hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease. All these actions may help explain bugleweed’s benefit in people with overactive thyroids.
Germany's Commission E has authorized Motherwort for the treatment of heart disorders caused by anxiety and stress, as well as part of an overall treatment plan for an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). These two uses are linked by the fact that both stress and high levels of thyroid hormone can increase the heart rate. Motherwort is an excellent heart tonic, and research has shown that it is able to calm palpitations, tachycardia and irregular heartbeats.
Flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other compounds appear to be responsible for lemon balm’santi-herpes and thyroid-regulating actions. Test tube studies have found that lemon balm blocks attachment of antibodies to the thyroid cells that cause Grave’s disease (hyperthyroidism). The brain’s signal to the thyroid (thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH) is also blocked from further stimulating the excessively active thyroid gland in this disease.
The suggested daily dosage of Thyroid Support is to take 1 capsule, 3 times daily, with meals.

I suffered from hyperthyroidism (Graves) several years ago and discovered that Motherwort and Bugleweed could be used for treatment of this condition. I started out taking one capsule 3 times a day, after 4 weeks my thyroid levels began to normalize and I was feeling good again. I actually went a little hypothyroid as a result according to my blood tests and then I took some kelp pills, which contain iodine and that brought my thyroid hormones levels back to normal. I highly recommend taking motherwort and bugleweed for hyperthyroidism but under a doctor's supervision.

Thyroid Support
It helped my hyperthyrodism. The nervous feelings dissappeared. I was able to focus better. I had fewer acne breakouts. I took 1 tablet a day for 90 days. The dosage of 3 tablets a day was too much for me. I think I began to develop an underactive thyroid, so I stopped taking this herb combination. My menstrual cycles are irregular now. Hopefully, my menses will be back to normal soon.

Also Recommended: I do recommmend a doctor's visit before starting this herb and another visit 30 days or so after being on the herbs. Keep close tabs on how you are feeling each day while on the herbs. They do work and can be powerful in addressing hyperthyroidism.

I was unable to use the product on my doctors advice, as I am currently on medicine for Graves Disease and products in your supplements would do me more harm than good. At some point do look forward to being able to truly try such supplements.
Sincerely,
Carol Nelson
