 NOT SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS

Nutri-Pak Natural Thyroid comes from healthy, BSE Free,New Zealand cows. The Nutri-Pak label is an identical product to the Atrium brand.This is the number-one natural glandular thyroid on the market.

Nutri-Pak Natural Thyroid is intended for the natural treatment of hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid). Unlike most remedies for the thyroid gland, which offer benefits for both under and over-active conditions (hyper & hypo); this remedy is intended solely for use in hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid).

 

If suffering from hypothyroidism, especially if the gland has been under functioning for many years, the use of a desiccated bovine thyroid, such as this, can have tremendous benefit and work far more effectively in the majority of cases than the drug Synthoid /Thyroxine or other forms of drug synthesized T4 hormone.

It is not just the fact that the pharmaceutical hormone is not exactly the same as that used by the body to maintain correct metabolic rate. A major factor is that there are 5 hormones that a healthy thyroid secretes and these are all required to maintain the best energy regulation and also bone health. These hormones are: T4, T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin. The most important hormone to maintain sufficient metabolic energy is T3, although this is in lower quantities than T4 secreted from a healthy thyroid. Most T3 is obtained from T4 conversion. The most often prescribed artificial hormone for thyroid under functioning is T4 (Thyroxine, Synthoid etc.). Many people have a low capacity for this conversion of T4 hormone to T3; this is why many people do not obtain sufficient benefit from taking a T4 only hormone prescription. Desiccated thyroid extracts contain all five thyroid hormones. These extracts were in use by the medical/pharmaceutical industry at one point, but abandoned in favour of the more profitable and less effective single hormone derivatives. Taking desiccated thyroid gland can have wonderful effects on a the health of those suffering from hypothyroidism.

Why is my therapy not working?   Removal of Blocks to Health, Healing and Wellness We have defined the major blocks to health improvement which should be considered the number one priority for resolution before one goes on to a more specific healing regimen such as that detailed in the health condition articles. By removing these blocks one will feel stronger and more prepared for a specific programme and will achieve far greater success with it. Please read this essential article here Low Metabolic Energy   If the remedies of choice are not working for you, then there could be an underlying hormonal balance issue preventing your health improvement; a fundamental problem that needs resolution before you can progress further. This is the matter of Low Metabolic Energy. Please look at the summary chart below, is any of this familiar? if so, please view our excellent resource to determine the extent to which an individuals health issues may relate to adrenal problems, thyroid problems or a combination of both.

Before supplementing with Natural Thyroid one should establish the suitability of the product and a need for the product with these 2 simple self administered tests  Barnes Basal Body Temperature Test Simple Blood pressure test The first test will indicate the state of thyroid function and hence indicate a need (or not) for Natural Thyroid whilst the second test indicates adrenal sufficiency/deficiency. The reason for this second test is that if adrenal deficiency is indicated, then Natural Thyroid should be deemed unsuitable until such time as that deficiency has been resolved. Not doing so can cause quite serious health issues. Taking Natural Thyroid, especially during the several week adaptation period, will demand higher than normal levels of bodily hydrocortisone (cortisol) (the adrenal hormones, especially hydrocortisone, are the coping/adapting hormones), if the required cortisol is not available then one can 'crash'. Examples of this are serious fatigue, flare up of pre-existing auto-immune disease (including asthma) and even failure to deal with infections. A good bodily supply of hydrocortisone (via Adrenal MAX Support if bodily supply is deficient) is essential before using Natural Thyroid.

Natural Thyroid Directions:

It takes a few weeks of taking Natural Thyroid for the long acting T4 levels to build up; one reason for the generally recommended gradual raising of dose over a few weeks.

Typically most people need to build up over several weeks to a level between 1½ and 2½ tablets daily.

Begin by taking half to one tablet daily*. Generally it is found to be safe to start at a half tablet daily (providing the heart is not weak) and to hold at that dose for 3 to 14 days (an absolute minimum of 3 days).

*Some very sensitive individuals may even find half a tablet daily overly stimulating in which case start at ¼ tablet daily.

Increase the amount you are taking by half tablet and maintain that amount for another three to fourteen days before increasing again; until you feel you have achieved your optimal level.

Each week, continue to test oral temperature and pulse for three days in a row per the Barnes Basal test outlined in the link above and take the average reading. If the temperature and pulse are still low, continue to increase dosage.

If you feel you have exceeded a tolerable dose* stop thyroid for one day and resume at a slightly lower dose.

*The symptoms of taking too much Natural Thyroid are a nervous or jittery feeling, similar to having drunk too much coffee. For some, these symptoms include palpitations (increased heart rate).

Do not rush the process, and do not exceed five tablets daily. If you have reached five tablets a day and still feel you need more support then other metabolic energy issues need to be worked on. Please click here. 

Note: Children need less and respond faster. Also, until the age of about eight years, a child’s pulse is high, around 110 beats per minute, so the only reliable test in young children is the temperature.

How long will it take to see any results?

Some people report immediate results while others report more gradual improvement. It is an important part of the process to allow the body time to adapt. In general, the lower the basal temperature, the more support one may need and the longer it may take to feel better. Each person needs to find the right level for their body. Keep in mind that it is possible for that amount to vary. Many report needing less support if they travel to warmer climates and more if they travel to colder climates. The symptoms of thyroid and adrenal imbalance can be similar. Click here for a more detailed article with graphs.

Hypothyroidism can lead to low blood sugar, increased adrenalin and increased cortisol. Although many of those with hypothyroidism conversely experience low cortisol output due to adrenal insufficiency. It is interesting to note that cortisol is required for efficient use of thyroid hormones by all of the body’s cells. Excess adrenalin in the long term can cause a racing pulse, irregular, or fast heart beat, anxiety and panic attacks, hypertension and can eventually lead to heart disease. Adequate thyroid function is necessary to control adrenalin at normal levels. The higher your adrenalin, the slower you must increase your dosage to avoid symptoms of excess adrenalin. As Natural Thyroid is slowly increased, adrenalin slowly decreases to normal. Some people can only tolerate ¼ tablet of Natural Thyroid at first and can only increase by ¼ tablet doses.

Higher dosages are needed in those who eat excessive unsaturated fats such as bean, seed and nut oils, which inhibit thyroid function.

If you suffer from weak adrenal glands or adrenal insufficiency it is unwise to take Natural Thyroid or any thyroid hormone without first supporting adrenal hormone output with a remedy such as Adrenal MAX Support (cortisol) and/or DHEA. As soon as you have established a dosage regime for adrenal hormone(s), if needed, you can start with Natural Thyroid. If cortisol /DHEA is low due to adrenal insufficiency; taking Natural Thyroid will increase the metabolic rate as it should do. This will, for a time (maybe months), increase the need for circulating cortisol/DHEA. Without the support of supplemental cortisol and/or DHEA the demand on the adrenal glands could cause further enervation resulting in dangerously low levels of cortisol/DHEA. If you are unsure if you have low adrenal hormone output, read the articles for these products (as linked above) for information on how to ascertain adrenal hormone output (especially cortisol). If you experience a racing pulse with low temperature, it’s often due to excess adrenaline, not hyperthyroid function.
