Question 2

Are any of the ingredients sourced from overseas?

Accepted Answer

The ingredients in Thyroid Support Complex are sourced from various countries overseas. As with all raw materials, each batch of ingredients received by Pure Encapsulations is tested upon reception for identity, potency (if applicable) and contaminants, which can include heavy metals, residual solvents, allergens, pesticide residues and others depending on ingredient and level of risk.  Pure Encapsulations manufacturers their own products in their own state-of-the-art plant in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Pure Encapsulations is NSF-GMP registered in the U.S., GMP certified in Canada and exceeds the standards of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

Question 3

I have a lot of trouble swallowing pills. Can these be cut down? Or are they capsules with powder that I can open and mix in liquid?

Accepted Answer

First, drink half a glass or more of water, enough to thoroughly moisten mouth and throat tissue, and then place pill or capsule on tongue, followed by a big gulp or more of water.  My doc reminds that meds in capsule/pill form are better swallowed whole if possible, because optimum absorption is in stomach/intestinal tract, rather than mouth.  Also, some meds taste awful.  If directions allow taking with food, coating pill/capsule with butter/oil of some kind makes fast work of task.  (Oil trick works when giving meds to dogs, as well.  I usually encase med in ball of cheese spread or peanut butter.)  Last choice is mixing with liquid, which means losing therapeutic value:  note how much powder remains stuck on sides/bottom of glass/spoon.

Question 4

What is the foreskin extract for?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid Support Complex contains Coleus forskohlii. Coleus extract contains forskolin, which has been shown to promote adenylate cyclase activity, supporting thyroid hormone metabolism.
