THYROID HEALTH
📣 Did you know the link between collagen and your health?
I’m sure by now you’ve heard that is the most abundant type of protein, accounting for roughly 35% to 50% of all proteins in your body. It's ESSENTIAL to support your thyroid and thousands of metabolic processes occurring within your body every day.
Collagen has been shown to help prevent and correct a number of inflammatory and degenerative diseases.
Collagen contains amino acids like glycine, proline, and arginine, which support the synthesis of thyroid hormones. These amino acids play a role in converting the inactive thyroid hormone (T4) into its active form (T3). Collagen provides structural support to the thyroid gland, promoting its optimal function and also reduces inflammation, which is vital as thyroid disorders often involve immune system imbalances.
Collagen’s ability to support gut health is also important to note, as a healthy gut contributes to better absorption of essential nutrients for thyroid function. You know it’s your second brain! 🧠
📣 Collagen BALANCES other proteins in the body. We must have protein for a healthy thyroid gland. In hypothyroid patients, tryptophan is converted to serotonin. This suppresses thyroid function further (by increasing other thyroid-suppressing hormones like cortisol and estrogen). This is where collagen comes to the rescue – there is NO tryptophan in collagen – that is just one reason it is so beneficial to the thyroid.
📣 Collagen lowers CORTISOL in hypothyroidism, which lowers stress levels. Stress hormones block the conversion of T4 to T3 (the active hormone) in the liver – collagen boosts the liver’s ability to convert T4 to the active T3 form by lowering cortisol. Amazing.
📣 Collagen lowers ENDOTOXIN, a thyroid-suppressive substance over-produced by intestinal bacteria – usually found in hypothyroidism. It over-burdens the liver, prevents detoxification of estrogen and cortisol and prevents healthy liver detoxification. Collagen is an incredible liver detoxifier.
📣 Collagen boosts thyroid and METABOLIC RATE by regulating BLOOD SUGAR. Some of us need to be on a lower carb diet for good health. However hypothyroid sufferers need more carbs in their diet. The worst thing you can do if hypothyroid is to go into ketosis. Collagen helps to regulate blood sugar as you transition to a lower carb diet, as it will enable you to metabolise carbs without the need for extra insulin, and it will prevent a rise in blood sugar. Most hypothyroid sufferers are (or become) insulin resistant – and they have been shown to have more than 26% less glycine than they need – another reason glycine-rich collagen is helpful to hypothyroid and diabetic patients.
📣 Lastly, collagen improves the thyroid’s ability to USE T3. Having adequate levels is not enough – you need to be able to UTILIZE this T3. Collagen also helps to restore insulin sensitivity and help you reverse insulin resistance, thereby improving your thyroid health.
WOW! We love learning about our amazing bodies and collagen is a great solution to support so many systems, not to mention the external benefits.
