This test provides an analysis of thyroid hormone metabolism. It includes central thyroid gland regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral thyroid conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity.

This test panel combines the Adrenal Stress and Complete Iodine Thyroid tests to offer comprehensive insight into the function of adrenal and thyroid glands.

The Complete Thyroid Profile combines the four most clinically useful thyroid function tests, giving a thorough assessment of a patient’s thyroid function.

Iodizyme-HP™ is a high potency iodine supplement, supplying both iodine and iodide. As a result of decreased iodine status, due to the typical Western diet, sufficient thyroxine cannot be produced, thus negatively impacting thyroid function. 

The use of oral iodine/iodide can aid in circumventing this issue. Although approximately 80% of the dietary intake of iodine is sequestered by the thyroid gland, other tissues concentrate iodine as well. These tissues include the salivary glands, the gastric mucosa, the choroid plexus, the mammary glands and the ovaries. Published information suggests iodine/iodide helps to maintain healthy hydroxyl estrogen ratios as well.

Meda-Stim™ supplies vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and botanical constituents to support the normal conversion of thyroid hormones, T-4 to T-3. In the bloodstream, T3 and T4 are carried by thyroine-binding globulin, thyroxine binding preablumin and serum albumin. 

T4 is converted to T3 by the liver, lungs, kidneys and heart by a selenium-dependent enzyme called Iodothyronine-5'monodeiodinase. T3 is then taken up by appropriate target cells, where it is transported to the nucleus to activate transcription.

Note for Regular Customers: Please note that the change in weight of active ingredients shown on the new product label is simply due to the addition of nucleotides to the original formula. The weight of meat within each capsule has not changed, so to all our regular customers who are used to the original formulation, please continue using this new product the same as you did previously.

Metavive II, Porcine Thyroid Complex 80 mg (90 Capsules)

Metavive II contains freeze-dried porcine thyroid gland from Procepts’ proprietary high welfare farms in the United Kingdom, where the pigs are raised on non-GMO feed, without the use of growth-promoting hormones or antibiotics. Their pigs are born outdoors and reared on natural grass pastures, before being brought into large straw-filled barns. Throughout their lives they are free to roam, socialise and express their natural rooting behaviours.

The thyroid glands are collected by EU approved abattoirs, freeze-dried and processed using low temperature methods, to carefully preserve their raw nutritional value, before blending with a synergistic complex of Ribonucleotides, the raw building blocks of RNA and DNA for every cell.

Nucleotide Nutrition

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. As such, they are needed by all cells of the human body, particularly during periods of regeneration, growth and repair. Nucleotides are also involved in cellular energy production, help to mediate cellular signalling and regulate certain enzymes, along with many other cellular functions.

The body has an ability to produce small amounts of nucleotides itself, as well as to salvage them from old, non-functional cells. However, in tissues which normally have a high cellular turnover (e.g. in the gut, the production of immune cells, or in athletes), or when environmental stressors normally generate an increased demand (e.g infection or injury), then these synthesis and salvage pathways may not be sufficient to supply adequate amounts of nucleotides to the body. So depending on current circumstances, additional nucleotides derived from the diet can become essential for the body.

Historically, organ meats and fermented foods were the richest natural sources of nucleotides in the diet. But as intakes of these wholefood sources have declined in the modern diet, recent scientific interest has focussed on finding additional sources of nucleotide supplementation. As such, the purified complex of all four primary nucleotides added to this new formula, perfectly complements this premium quality organ meat supplement.
