Causes of Thyroid Dysfunction 

Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes: 

Thyroid hormones are responsible for stimulating the metabolic processes of every cell in the body. People can’t live without adequate amounts of thyroid hormones.

The thyroid gland, which sits in the lower part of the neck, produces about a teaspoon of hormones in an entire year. That means just a little variation in thyroid hormone production can have big effects on the body.

Special: Dr. Brownstein: Your Tiny Thyroid Causing Big Problems

In order to grasp the effects of thyroid hormone, it is important to understand how the thyroid gland works. The gland is stimulated by a hormone from the pituitary gland — called, of course, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The thyroid gland responds to TSH by producing a relatively inactive type of thyroid hormone called thyroxine, or T4.

The enzyme deiodinase (also called iodide peroxidase) then converts thyroxine to the active type of thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine (T3), which performs thyroid hormone functions.

One condition that causes fatigue for many patients is a failure to convert inactive T4 into the active T3 hormones. I refer to these patients as “poor T4 converters.” There are many reasons why T4 fails or is slow to convert into T3, including hypoadrenalism. Adequate levels of cortisol and other adrenal hormones are necessary for the body to convert T4 to T3.

Other factors that can slow the conversion of T4 to T3 include insufficient levels of:

• B vitamins (especially vitamin B12)
• Iodine
• Iron
• Selenium
• Vitamin A
• Zinc

In addition, many commonly prescribed medications — such as beta blockers, birth control pills, and antidepressants — can slow T4 conversion.

Fluoride, which is found in most public water sources, also is a potent inhibitor of thyroid activation. I have written many times about the dangers of fluoridating the water supply.

The most common reason a person would be unable to convert inactive T4 into active T3 is iodine deficiency — which affects much of our country. I estimate that more than 95% of Americans are iodine deficient.

Millions Suffer From Chronic Conditions — Don’t Know
It’s Their Thyroid

Breakthrough remedy 
is radically changing lives

Urgent Message From Dr. David Brownstein, MD

One of your body’s tiniest glands — it’s located in your neck just above the Adam’s apple — is your thyroid.

It may be small and not look important but it’s one of the most powerful glands in the whole body, secreting hormones that are involved in just about every crucial function that takes place in your body — heart, digestion, brain function, and more!

So, it should not surprise you to learn that if this tiny thyroid of yours is just a little off and not working at 100 percent — your whole world could turn upside down!

Sadly, I have discovered in my medical practice so many of patients struggle with conditions that are rooted in their thyroid — and they don’t even know it!

In fact, many conventional doctors just prescribe tons of prescription drugs that mask and suppress symptoms but never fix the underlying problem of the thyroid.

Shockingly, many doctors don’t even bother to test to see if the thyroid is functioning at optimal levels.

If you have experienced unusual fatigue, rapid weight gain or loss that you can’t seem to fix, frequent mood swings, sudden hair loss, unusual heart problems, sleepless nights, frequent bathroom visits, even bouts of agitation and you find your hands trembling — all of these problems may be linked to your thyroid.

Many of my patients dismiss these symptoms as nothing more than “age-related” problems. “Completely normal for my age,” they will say.

And, to top it all off, many of my medical colleagues and even your doctor may have overlooked some vital aspects of your blood results, ranking your thyroid as “normal” when it really isn’t. But they are often wrong!

And the longer these signs are ignored, the more intense your health problems will become and worse you will feel.

Fortunately, I developed a solution!

As a medical doctor, I have observed this happen with my patients for so many years I knew I needed to provide help.

Patients come in with signs of thyroid imbalance and they have been to doctor after doctor looking for real relief.

About Dr. Brownstein 

David Brownstein, M.D., is medical director at Michigan’s respected Center for Holistic Medicine. Newsmax reports Dr. Brownstein is one of the top 10 holistic practitioners in America. He also edits the popular newsletter Dr. Brownstein’s Natural Way to Health and has written numerous health books. A board-certified family physician, he focuses on resolving the root causes of disease, not just the symptoms. He specializes in such conditions as thyroid disease, chronic fatigue, arthritis, hormone imbalance, diabetes, and many others.

And here is the surprising truth: Many times patients can be cured just by getting simple nutrients they are missing into their body — nutrients that cause no side effects and can radically change the way they feel.

After seeing so many cases like this, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

So I created a formula containing these simple nutrients that my patients could take to fix their thyroid problems and feel better once and for all.

My formula is not something I slapped together in a big rush.

It came after years of intense research, and treating thousands of patients.

Only then did I join with Medix Select, one of the nation&rsuo;s premier nutraceutical companies, to make an effective product for my patients and people like you.

This amazing product is called Actalin^®.

Well, since my formula Actalinwas launched in 2013, Medix has sold more than 350,000 bottles — it’s most popular nutritional supplement.

My patients and others have never been happier because they saw their lives turn around!

Now You Can Benefit From Actalin!

First of all, it’s a new natural breakthrough containing 17 hand-picked ingredients to specifically target your optimal thyroid health, along with your adrenal health and general wellness.

Heading the list of ingredients in Actalin, I added 200 mcg of iodine, or 133% of the recommended value, in each daily serving.

Iodine is critical for production of adequate thyroid hormones.

In fact, you need three iodine molecules to produce the T3 hormone and four iodine molecules to produce the T4 thyroid hormone.

T3 and T4 are the two key hormones produced by the thyroid gland — and they are absolutely critical for hundreds of body functions, including your heart, brain, and immune system.

Many people think they get enough iodine by adding or eating salty foods.

But they are wrong — I have found most of my patients are woefully deprived of iodine!

It’s Not Just Iodine

So when you take Actalin daily, you’ll help cover your bases when it comes to this crucial nutrient.

But that’s not all you’ll find …

This advanced thyroid support formula also includes support for your overtaxed adrenal glands, with a proprietary blend that includes adrenal glandular powder.

You see, the adrenals are closely associated with your thyroid — especially your energy levels and immune system response. When your adrenal glands are performing at their peak, you’ll be astonished at how wonderful you feel.

Many supplements ignore the adrenals and their important function. Not Actalin!

And there’s more …

My proprietary blend also includes a trio of herbs used for centuries in the Ayurvedic tradition to naturally and gently stimulate the thyroid gland.

You’ll find these Ayurvedic herbs:

• Ashwagandha Root Extract has been used for thousands of years to help gently balance out the body’s endocrine functions and also promote mental clarity and alertness.
• Forskohlii Root Extracthas been used traditionally to help support thyroid health.
• Guggul Gum Resin Extract has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners for thousands of years to support thyroid function.

So Actalin includes iodine, adrenal support, and gentle natural balancers for your thyroid.

And that’s just the beginning …

I also added L-tyrosine, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and 10 additional vitamins and minerals to support your good thyroid health.

My patients say Actalin really works for them.

Among these additional minerals is selenium, and after iodine, it could well be the next most important mineral affecting thyroid function. Selenium is more concentrated in the thyroid gland than in any other organ in the human body, so it plays a crucial role in thyroid function.

In Actalin, you’ll also find MSM or methylsulfonylmethane, an organic source of bioavailable sulfur. This sulfur compound provides support to the thyroid.

Zinc is also needed to support the conversion of T4 to the more active T3 hormone, so insufficient zinc can prevent your thyroid from making enough active thyroid hormone.

Copper and another trace mineral, manganese, help protect your thyroid from free radicals.

Sufficient quantities of vitamin D within body cells are required for the thyroid hormone to function properly.

Vitamin E is another antioxidant nutrient with a beneficial effect on thyroid function, exerting a protective influence against thyroid cell damage.

Vitamin A also helps to balance the correct amount of thyroid hormones.

Magnesium is another mineral that helps regulate thyroid function, and is required for conversion of T4 to T3.

Niacin and riboflavin are B-complex vitamins that regulate thyroid activity and contribute to the prevention of either an overactive or underactive thyroid.

Well, I could go on in much more detail about the benefits to you of all 17 of the targeted hand-picked ingredients in Actalin, but the fact is that you don’t know how it will work unless you try it.

The exclusive formula in Actalin could change your life.
