The Thyroid & Seas Moss Connection

The thyroid produces essential hormones like triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones influence metabolic rate, energy levels, temperature regulation, synthesis of proteins, and even how some other body organs function. Thyroid dysfunction can happen due to a range of factors like iodine deficiency, genetic reasons, and autoimmune reactions in the body. A person can experience issues like fatigue, depression, and weight gain due to many of these thyroid disorders as well.

Sea Moss or Chondrus crispus is a natural ally for those suffering from thyroid disorders. Why?

• It is a rich source of iodine that helps synthesize many of the hormones produced by the thyroid.
• It also contains tyrosine, an essential amino acid used to produce these hormones.
• It is an excellent Vitamin B-complex and C source, along with crucial minerals like zinc and magnesium. All of which have an active role in supporting thyroid health.

Role of Seas Moss in Thyroid Disorders

If you talk about specific thyroid disorders, here is how sea moss can help. 

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is when the gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Here, supplementation with sea moss can help restore iodine levels. Tyrosine, also acting as a raw product for hormone production, helps increase the body’s ability to produce more of this crucial hormone. 

Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders

Autoimmune disorders like Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis often involve immune system dysregulation and inflammation. Sea moss is a natural anti-inflammatory nutrient source. This makes it a crucial choice for managing such diseases. Helping regulate the inflammation in the body can help with the severity of such diseases. While iodine and tyrosine modulate immune system response through hormonal synthesis, carrageenan assists with reducing inflammation. The dual action makes the sea moss so effective for thyroid function regulation.
