Q. I take a prescribed thyroid hormone replacement medication. Can I take ThyroSynergy®?

However, you should talk to your medical practitioner before taking ThyroSynergy® to ensure this dietary supplement is right for you. ThyroSynergy® should not be taken at the same time as prescribed thyroid medication and should not be considered a replacement for prescribed thyroid medication.*
Q. Who formulated ThyroSynergy®?
ThyroSynergy® was formulated by Louise O’Connor, an Australian-based Naturopath specializing in thyroid health.
While everyone’s nutritional needs are different, you can feel confident Louise spent many months researching, and formulating ThyroSynergy® to provide multiple benefits. This cutting-edge formula provides TEN active ingredients in ONE convenient vegetarian capsule.
Q. How do I take ThyroSynergy®?
Suggested use: Adults take 1 capsule twice daily with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. This means taking 1 capsule just before, or while having a meal.

Q. Is ThyroSynergy® suitable for those with a diagnosed hyperthyroid disorder?
Generally speaking ThyroSynergy® would not normally be recommended as it contains iodine. If you have been diagnosed with a hyperthyroid disorder it’s likely you have already been advised NOT to take any type of iodine supplement, or consume foods high in iodine.
Note: For professional reasons we cannot provide personalized health advice. Please consult your medical practitioner with your questions as they are best suited to make a recommendation based on your specific health circumstances.
Q. Can taking iodine be harmful?
Iodine is the key ingredient the thyroid needs to make thyroid hormones so it’s often recommended to support thyroid health. However it’s about balanced intake. Iodine is an essential nutrient the body only needs in very small quantities. You don’t need to take excessive amounts as this can cause problems within the thyroid. Generally, taking 150-300 micrograms daily is safe. Each ThyroSynergy® capsule supplies 150 micrograms of potassium iodide to support active iodine uptake within the thyroid.*
Q. Is ThyroSynergy® suitable for those diagnosed with a faulty MTHFR gene?
ThyroSynergy® supplies Quatrefolic® methyl-folate which is an active form of folate that completely bypasses the folic acid metabolic cycle. Methyl-folate is generally considered suitable for those diagnosed with a faulty MTHFR gene. ThyroSynergy® also supplies pyridoxal 5-phosphate (active B6) and methyl-B12 (active B12). *
Q. What does Quatrefolic® folate mean?
ThyroSynergy® is specially formulated with Quatrefolic®, the new generation folate. This advanced methyl folate offers improved bioavailability to assist greater absorption of folate.*
+ Quatrefolic® (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid glucosamine salt is an advanced form of folate that uses glucosamine instead of calcium to bind the L-methylfolate.
+ Quatrefolic® may be suitable for individuals diagnosed with the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene variant. *
Q. Can men take ThyroSynergy®?
For professional reasons we cannot provide specific health advice. However generally speaking ThyroSynergy® was formulated to be a comprehensive, all-in-one nutritional supplement for both men and women.
Q. Could ThyroSynergy® have possible side effects?
ThyroSynergy® should not produce side effects when taken as suggested. Suggested use: adults take 1 capsule twice daily with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Always read the label and use only as directed. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication, or have a diagnosed thyroid disorder please consult your healthcare professional before taking this product. ThyroSynergy® is not suggested for those with a diagnosed over active thyroid disorder as it contains iodine.
Q. Since starting ThyroSynergy® my urine has gone yellow. Is this normal?
ThyroSynergy® contains Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). This B vitamin contains water soluble yellow pigments. In fact, the name riboflavin is derived from flavin, the Latin word for yellow. As your body uses vitamin B2 small amounts of yellow colored compounds are released into your urine for excretion. This turns your urine yellow. It’s a normal process, and does not indicate you are taking excess amounts of vitamin B2.
Q. What are vegetarian capsules?
Vegetarian capsules are made from plant cellulose making them suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or those who choose to avoid consuming animal-derived gelatin capsules.
Q. What is the difference between gelatin and vegetarian capsules?
The biggest difference between gelatin and vegetarian capsules is that vegetarian capsules do not contain any animal derived ingredients.
More and more consumers are seeking clean-label products that don’t use animal derived ingredients. Vegetarian capsules offer an ethical, and healthy alternative to gelatin capsules. Gelatin, a common material used to produce capsules, is sourced from the connective tissue of cows (bovine), or pigs (porcine). Supplement companies often opt to use gelatin capsules as they are cheaper.
Nutritional products made using vegetarian capsules, sometimes referred to as Vcaps®, are made from plant cellulose. This makes these capsules the ideal alternative for vegans, vegetarians, or those who choose to avoid taking gelatin capsules.
ThyroSynergy® is formulated using Vcap® vegetarian capsules. These capsules are non-GMO Project verified, gluten-free, and preservative-free.
Q. Can ThyroSynergy® be used in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant, or breastfeeding please consult your healthcare professional. They are best suited to provide advice on essential nutrients to support healthy conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
Q. Why doesn’t ThyroSynergy® contain tyrosine?
Despite the benefits of tyrosine for thyroid health this amino acid was not added to the ThyroSynergy® formula for two reasons.
Firstly, tyrosine supplements are best taken away from meals as tyrosine is best absorbed when taken on an empty stomach. In fact, this amino acid is very poorly absorbed when taken with food. As ThyroSynergy® is recommended with meals there would be limited benefits to having tyrosine in the formula.
Secondly, tyrosine has the potential to interact with a variety of prescribed medications. To avoid contraindication issues with commonly prescribed medications this nutrient was not added to the formula.

Q. Are excipients used in ThyroSynergy®?
Excipients are necessary to ensure the quality, and efficacy of a nutritional product. Without these inactive substances the final product would be compromised. For example; excipients are necessary to protect the stability of a product so it’s effective when taken, and they also ensure the active ingredients are released in the body within a specific time frame.
The ThyroSynergy® active ingredients are in a base of microcrystalline cellulose with a small amount of magnesium stearate added. As an additional measure, ThyroSynergy® is presented in a vegetarian capsule, not a tablet to reduce the need for additional excipients. For example, it’s necessary to use binding agents when manufacturing tablets to ensure the ingredients stick together.

Q. Can I book a Naturopathic consultation with Louise O'Connor?
Yes, if you are in Australia you can book a Naturopathic consultation with me. It’s your opportunity to gain advice, and guidance regarding your specific thyroid health concerns.
How Can I Help YOU?
+ I have a holistic and personalised treatment approach.
As a Naturopath my focus is thyroid health. In fact, it’s become my life work to educate and raise awareness of the importance of optimal thyroid health. You will be treated and supported as an individual as I don’t use a one-size-fits all treatment approach.
+ I can help you get proper thyroid testing.
I can partner with you to get private testing done with NutriPATH Integrative Pathology, Melbourne.
Comprehensive testing eliminates the guesswork and provides invaluable insights into overall thyroid function. This type of testing can assess central thyroid function, peripheral thyroid hormone activity, and checks for autoimmune activity within the thyroid.
These are the thyroid tests that provide an important diagnostic framework;
+ thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
+ free thyroxine (T4)
+ free triiodothyronine (T3)
+ reverse T3 (RT3)
+ T3/RT3 ratio
+ anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) and anti-thyroperoxidase (TPO) antibodies
A comprehensive thyroid panel with NutriPATH Integrative Pathology costs AU$175 + blood collection fee. The total is around AU$240.
+ I will explain what your thyroid function test results actually mean.
It’s understandable that once you get the results you will have lots of questions. Interpreting your test results and linking them to your symptoms is a complex puzzle.
However, once you understand how all the clues of the puzzle fit together it’s a game changer.
You finally make sense of WHY you are struggling with poor health, and experiencing all the symptoms of low metabolic activity.
+ We will discuss next steps to recovering your thyroid health.
We will work together to uncover the reasons why you have a thyroid disorder, and chart the best course of action to help you reclaim the vibrant health you deserve.
If you are already under the care of a healthcare practitioner I can discuss the test results with you, and work with you and your practitioner to form the best treatment strategy.
