Thyroid USP (GMP)
Thyroid Powder is easily absorbed by human body and shown to have less side effects compared to synthetic drugs in the treatment of Hypothyroidism
Mechanism of action
The thyroid gland plays a major role in the metabolism and development of the human body. It constantly produces and releases thyroid hormones into the bloodstream, Liothyronine (T3) and Levothyroxine (T4) being the major players. These hormones are essential for normal development, growth, neural differentiation and metabolic regulation (Brent, 2012).
They function by increasing the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and needed to stay warm, have strong heartbeat and in general increasing the energy usage of the body.
BIOFAC manufactures Thyroid Powder from porcine thyroid gland according to USP with standardized content of both T3 and T4 hormones.
The oral products with Thyroid Powder is a well-known option for patients with hypothyroidism.

Storage and Stability
BIOFAC Thyroid Powder is a hygroscopic product that easily absorbs humidity from the air. It should be stored in original and tightly closed containers at room temperature not exceeding 25 C. The re- test date is 2 years from the date of production if stored as advised above.

Thyroid Hormons
The thyroid gland is located in the front lower part of the neck. Hormones released by the gland travel through a bloodstream and affect nearly every part of the body, from heart and brain, to muscles and skin.
T4 is the primary isoform of thyroid hormone produced in the thyroid gland whereas the active form, T3, is produced to a lesser extent. In target tissues deiodinases are responsible for the conversion of T4 to T3, a process necessary due to T3’s higher affinity for thyroid hormone receptors (Aranda, A., Alonso-Merino, E. and Zambrano, A. (2013) ‘Receptors of thyroid hormones.’, Pediatric endocrinology reviews : PER).
