Description
Thyroid Support is a dietary supplement containing a combination of iodine from natural seaweed and kelp sources, L-tyrosine, ashwagandha, forskolin, and schisandra. It is a high-quality dietary supplement for anyone who wants to support healthy metabolic balance.
Kelp, ashwagandha, and schisandra
The supplement combines iodine-rich algae, which contribute to normal thyroid function, with adaptogenic herbs that support the body's ability to manage stress.
Forskolin
Forskolin is an extract from Coleus forskohlii, an herb with many years of traditional use in the Ayurvedic health system. This herb is a member of the mint family.
Liquid formula in capsules
Gaia Herbs Liquid Phyto-Caps® are slightly different from ordinary herbal capsules. Liquid Phyto-Caps are capsules filled with concentrated extracts rather than just powdered dried herbs. Gaia developed the technology to put a concentrated liquid plant extract into a capsule. The capsule itself is made of hypromellose (HPMC) derived from pine cellulose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is supercritical CO₂ extraction?
Gaia uses several different extraction methods depending on which compounds in the plant it wants to capture. One of these is supercritical CO₂ extraction. Liquid Phyto-Cap may contain a blend of different types of extracts.
Supercritical CO₂ extraction is an environmentally friendly method for extracting oils from plants. The method is often used for herbs that naturally contain larger amounts of oil, such as oregano, ginger, holy basil, and turmeric.
The dried herb is placed in a closed extraction vessel together with carbon dioxide (CO₂). The vessel is pressurized and heated to above 31 °C. The carbon dioxide then enters a supercritical state. In this state, CO₂ can extract naturally occurring oils and fat-soluble compounds from the plant material. When the extraction is complete, the pressure is lowered. The carbon dioxide then returns to its gaseous state and separates from the extracted oils.
