10. Graves Disease

Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder that can cause hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way your body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats.

Graves disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is due to an abnormal immune system response that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone. Graves disease is most common in women over age 20. But the disorder can occur at any age and can affect men as well.

With Graves' disease, your immune system attacks your thyroid gland, causing it to make more thyroid hormones than your body needs. As a result, many of your body's functions speed up. The thyroid is a small gland in your neck that makes thyroid hormones.

Some foods may exacerbate Graves' disease symptoms. Food sensitivities or allergies may negatively impact the immune system, causing disease flares in some people.

What are the symptoms of Graves' disease?

• weight loss, despite an increased appetite
• rapid or irregular heartbeat
• nervousness, irritability, trouble sleeping, fatigue
• shaky hands, muscle weakness
• sweating or trouble tolerating heat
• frequent bowel movements
• an enlarged thyroid gland, called a goiter

The recommended supplements for graves disease are: Vitamin D3, Ashwagandha, & Platinum Turmeric.

1. Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3, also known as the sunshine vitamin, has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential benefits in managing various health conditions, including Graves' disease. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an overactive thyroid gland, leading to symptoms such as weight loss, irritability, tremors, and bulging eyes. While the primary treatment for Graves' disease typically involves medications that suppress the excessive thyroid hormone production or, in severe cases, radioactive iodine therapy or surgery, emerging research suggests that vitamin D3 may play a complementary role in managing the condition. Several studies have explored the relationship between vitamin D3 levels and Graves' disease, with promising results. Vitamin D3 is involved in modulating the immune system and has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. Since Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, it is believed that vitamin D3 could potentially help regulate the immune response and reduce inflammation. One study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that individuals with Graves' disease had significantly lower levels of vitamin D3 compared to healthy controls. The researchers observed that supplementing with vitamin D3 led to a reduction in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, which is typically elevated in Graves' disease. Furthermore, vitamin D3 supplementation was associated with improved thyroid function and a decrease in autoantibodies, which are antibodies that target the thyroid gland. Another study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, examined the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on thyroid function in individuals with Graves' disease. The results showed that vitamin D3 supplementation led to a significant decrease in TSH levels, suggesting improved thyroid function. Additionally, the study found that vitamin D3 supplementation was associated with a decrease in thyroid autoantibodies, indicating a potential benefit in reducing the autoimmune response.

2. Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha, a popular herb in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, has gained attention for its potential therapeutic effects on various health conditions, including Graves' disease. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an overactive thyroid gland, leading to symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and fatigue. Ashwagandha, scientifically known as Withania somnifera, has been extensively studied for its adaptogenic properties, which help the body cope with stress and maintain overall well-being. One of the main active compounds in ashwagandha, called withanolides, has been found to possess anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. These properties make ashwagandha a promising natural supplement for managing Graves' disease symptoms and potentially supporting thyroid health. Research suggests that ashwagandha may help modulate the immune system, reducing the production of thyroid-stimulating antibodies that contribute to the hyperactivity of the thyroid gland in Graves' disease. Additionally, ashwagandha has been shown to have a calming effect on the nervous system, helping to alleviate anxiety and stress-related symptoms commonly associated with Graves' disease.

3. Platinum Turmeric

Platinum Turmeric is an innovative and promising natural remedy that has gained attention for its potential benefits in managing Graves' disease. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an overactive thyroid gland, leading to symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and eye problems. Turmeric, a golden spice commonly used in traditional medicine, contains an active ingredient called curcumin, which exhibits potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties make Platinum Turmeric a potential adjunct therapy for Graves' disease, as it may help reduce inflammation, modulate the immune response, and alleviate symptoms associated with the condition. Additionally, curcumin has been shown to support thyroid health by reducing thyroid peroxidase antibodies, which are elevated in Graves' disease. The anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin may also help to mitigate eye problems commonly experienced by individuals with Graves' disease, such as bulging eyes and eye irritation.

Our Platinum Turmeric blend contains various forms of turmeric, glucosamine, Boswellia extract (frankincense), piperine, and several other highly beneficial natural extracts to keep you at your best.
