A thyroid panel is used to screen for or help diagnose hypo- and hyperthyroidism due to various thyroid disorders. Synthetic thyroid medications are made from levothyroxine sodium while natural thyroid medications are made from desiccated pig thyroid. The other major difference is what thyroid hormones they contain. Most synthetic thyroid medicines, like Synthroid, contain only T4. The natural medications, like Armour contain both T4 and T3 (triiodothyronine). The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine and convert it into the hormones thyroxine, and triiodothyronine. These hormones regulate the rate of oxygen use by cells, and regulate the generation of body heat.   The purpose of the thymus gland is to produce and process lymphocytes or T cells, essential cells in the immune system. Low thyroid function or hypothyroidism not only can zap your energy levels—but it can also be to blame for other symptoms such as:

• Increased sensitivity to cold, Constipation, Pale, dry skin, Sluggishness
• A puffy face, Hoarse voice, Elevated blood cholesterol and liver enzyme levels
• Unexplained weight gain, Muscle aches, tenderness, stiffness and pain
• Swelling joints, Muscle weakness, and depression.

The vitamin B-complex refers to all of the known essential water-soluble vitamins including liposomal vitamin C. These include thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin (B7) folic acid (B9) and the Methylcobalamin (preferred vitamin B12).  Double-blind scientific research suggests that supplementing with vitamin B-complex multivitamins may help in many ways. "Vitamin B complex " was once thought to be a single nutrient that existed in extracts of rice, liver, or yeast. Researchers later discovered these extracts contained several vitamins, which were given distinguishing numbers.   Each member of the B-complex has a unique structure and performs unique functions in the human body. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and biotin participate in different aspects of energy production, vitamin B6 is essential for amino acid metabolism, and vitamin B12 and folic acid facilitate steps required for cell division. Each of these vitamins has many additional functions.
