Alitirox 60caps - MJS Med

ALITIROX® is a dietary supplement indicated for the symptomatic treatment of hypothyroidism.

Curcuma longa is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory action that reduces the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress through the NfK-Beta factor pathway, a profile favorable to the oxidative risk evidenced in autoimmune thyroid diseases.

Thyroid hormones are produced from iodine and the amino acid tyrosine. Kelp is a natural dietary source with a lower concentration, thus helping to reduce the risk of excessive iodine consumption. Kelp also contains several vitamins, calcium, trace elements, and other nutrients such as fiber, which even combats constipation symptoms in these individuals and promotes the detoxification of toxic compounds (environmental pollutants) that can contribute to thyroid metabolism disruption.

Zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin A work together to promote thyroid hormone production. A deficiency in any of these elements decreases the production of the active hormone. Low zinc concentrations and hypothyroidism are common in the elderly. Zinc, copper, and selenium are necessary cofactors for the enzyme iodine-thyroid iodinase to promote the conversion of T4 to T3. And each form of thyroid hormone requires a different trace mineral. Zinc supplementation restores normal thyroid function in patients with hypothyroidism and zinc deficiency, even in cases where serum T3 concentrations are normal.

Selenium deficiency does not reduce the conversion of T4 to T3 in the thyroid or pituitary gland, although it does occur in peripheral cells and tissues. Patients with selenium deficiency have elevated T4 and TSH concentrations, so this trace element reduces these concentrations and normalizes thyroid activity. It also reduces antithyroid antibodies in autoimmunity, and selenium deficiency has been reported in at least 50% of the population. Selenium deficiency leads to decreased thyroid cell activity, including in situations of normal or increased hormone concentrations.

Antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, and Curcuma longa extracts) enhance thyroid function in animal studies, reducing body weight changes associated with altered thyroid function, reducing T4 and T3 suppression, and attenuating cholesterol levels. Vitamins B2, B3, and B6 are specific cofactors required for hormone production and the cellular conversion of T4 to T3. Vitamin B3, in particular, decreases serum thyroid hormone concentrations while maintaining a euthyroid state. This effect may be mediated by a reduction in thyroxine-binding globulin.
