The activity of free radicals can compromise the natural conversion of T4 to active and useable T3. Free radicals are compounds that lack an electron and can cause oxidation by stealing electrons of cell membranes, lipid bilayers, and DNA. N-acetyl cysteine, a precursor to the body's master antioxidant glutathione, boosts thyroid health by accelerating antioxidant activity in the thyroid gland. Turmeric, along with the antioxidants vitamin C and E, has been shown to promote a healthy thyroid gland due to direct antioxidant activity. Stress can have a very profound impact on the thyroid. If too much cortisol is in the bloodstream it can slow the conversion of T4 into T3 and negatively impact overall hormone production.

By reducing stress and cortisol levels with powerful adaptogens like ashwagandha, the thyroid is further protected. Guggulipid (Commiphora mukul) has been shown to support thyroid function, primarily by decreasing lipid peroxidation in the liver, the principal site of T3 generation. Guggul extract has also been shown to have thyroid-stimulating action by increasing iodine uptake by the thyroid gland and increasing the activities of thyroid peroxidase and protease.
