Thytrophin PMG
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland consisting of a large number of follicles (small secretory sacs or cavities) that contain thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin is an iodine-containing protein from which thyroxine, triiodothyronine (T3), and tetraiodothyronine (T4) are derived (T3 and T4 stimulate every tissue in the body to produce proteins and increase the amount of oxygen used by cells). Thyroxine, a principle hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, enhances the capability of all food types for energy production and increases the rate of protein synthesis in most tissues. Parafollicular cells secrete the hormone calcitonin (works together with parathyroid hormone). Calcitonin is involved in calcium metabolism and works to decrease blood calcium levels. Calcitonin also inhibits bone resorption (act of removal by absorption).

How Thytrophin PMG® Keeps You Healthy
Maintains Cellular Health
Protomorphogen™ extract is the brand name of Standard Process' extracts derived from nucleoprotein-mineral molecules. The foundation for the function of these uniquely formulated nucleoprotein-mineral extracts comes from the antigen-antibody reaction that takes place during normal cell maintenance. The antigenic properties promote healthy cell division, function, and growth. When a tissue needs support, at least a dozen different compounds are formed that can cause white blood cells to travel together toward the compromised area. They include degenerative products of the tissues themselves. These substances strongly activate the macrophage system, and within a few hours, the macrophages begin to devour the destroyed tissue byproducts. At times, the macrophages can also affect the structure of the remaining healthy cells. The bovine thyroid PMG™ extract in Thytrophin PMG® appears to neutralize the circulating antibody, thereby contributing to the maintenance of cellular health.*
Improves calcium absorption
Calcium lactate is a very soluble calcium salt and highly bioavailable, changing to calcium bicarbonate (the type used by the body) in one chemical step. Unlike other forms of calcium, which are largely insoluble in water and need acid conditions to be absorbed, Standard Process' calcium lactate is highly soluble in water (a neutral pH) and does not depend on acidic conditions to perform its function.*
Enhances metabolic efficiency
Magnesium functions as a cofactor, assisting enzymes in catalyzing many chemical reactions. It functions in such reactions as nerve conduction and nerve excitability; energy transfer, muscular activity; and many other specific processes. This important mineral is a critical dietary substance and is an essential element in over 300 enzymes in the body. While magnesium is present in most cells in only minute quantities, it plays an important role in human metabolism, as does it partner, calcium. The magnesium in this product aids in the uptake of calcium lactate by the body. Magnesium and calcium are synergistic, meaning that what they do for the body together, they cannot perform on their own. Magnesium deficiencies are often accompanied by calcium and potassium deficiencies.
What Makes Standard Process' Thytrophin PMG® Unique
- Contains enzymes factors, minerals, amino acids, and proteins combined with bovine thyroid PMG® extract.
- To help to support the role of the thyroid in basal metabolism, its dynamic relationships with other endocrine glands, and its vital role in the promotion of growth.*
- Contains Protomorphogen™ extracts - Protomorphogen™ extracts are remarkable ingredients extracted and processed in a singularly unique manner by Standard Process Inc. Standard Process uses only adult sources of Protomorphogen™ extracts because they contain the important antigenic properties of nucleoprotein-mineral determinants, the foundation of the product.
- Thytrophin PMG® provides nutritional ingredients and support for the musculoskeletal system.*
- The calcium lactate in Thytrophin PMG® is not derived from a dairy source. Standard Process obtains their calcium lactate from pure-vegetable sources of calcium.
- The ingredients in Thytrophin PMG® are processed to remain intact; complete nutritional compounds.
- Not disassociated into isolated components.
Unique Processing
- Bovine thyroid PMG™ extract is processed to remove its thyroxine
