Are you getting enough collagen to support your thyroid health? 🤔
Collagen is the most abundant type of protein, accounting for roughly 35% to 50% of all protein 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, including diabetes, arthritis, and cancer.
Yet, it's a protein that almost everyone is deficient in. The main amino acid (protein building-block) in collagen is glycine.
Research shows that we are severely deficient in glycine to the point that scientists are recommending that supplementation is the only way to
"guarantee a healthy metabolism".
1. Collagen Can Boost Your Thyroid Hormone Levels by Unblocking Your Thyroid Gland.
Collagen can help boost your thyroid hormone levels by simply balancing the other proteins in your body.
2. Collagen Can Boost Your Thyroid Hormone Conversion by Lowering
Cortisol
3. Collagen Can Boost Your Thyroid Hormone Conversion by Lowering
Endotoxin.
Endotoxin is a very common cause of hypothyroidism today.
It's a thyroid-suppressive substance that's over-produced by intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which is commonly found in hypothyroidism.
Endotoxin suppresses your thyroid in a number of ways, primarily by burdening your liver and preventing the detoxification of thyroid-suppressive hormones such as estrogen and cortisol.

Regulation.
5. Collagen Can Boost Your Thyroid by Improving Your Ability to Use Thyroid Hormone (T3)
Unfortunately, having adequate thyroid hormone levels isn't enough.
You still have to be able to use that thyroid hormone (T3) to maintain healthy thyroid function.
In hypothyroidism, metabolism becomes blocked by high levels of free fatty-acids in the blood.
This can prevent your cells from using thyroid hormone (T3) efficiently.
Yet, collagen has been shown to prevent this by inhibiting lipolysis (the release of free-fatty acids).
