Understanding Glandular Thyroid Supplementation

The thyroid gland plays a vital role in maintaining metabolism, energy, and mood. When thyroid function is out of balance, it can affect nearly every system in the body—from body temperature and weight management to focus and vitality.

For individuals seeking a natural, nutritional approach to support thyroid wellness, glandular supplementation has become an increasingly popular option. This time-honored method uses carefully sourced animal glandulars—most often from cattle—to provide nutritional compounds that help support the body’s own endocrine function.*


The Rise of Glandular Support

Glandular supplementation has deep roots in traditional naturopathic and integrative medicine. The concept is based on the idea that consuming specific tissues from healthy animals may help support parallel systems in the human body.

As awareness of thyroid health has grown, many people have sought alternatives to synthetic-only thyroid products. While prescription therapies remain essential for some individuals, glandular supplements offer an adjunctive, natural option for those looking to support thyroid balance through nutritional means.*

This interest has also been fueled by leading voices in the integrative medicine community—including early research from Dr. John Bastyr, a pioneer of modern naturopathic practice and founder of Bastyr University. His studies underscored the importance of purity, ethical sourcing, and bioavailability in thyroid glandulars.

Priority One Vitamins proudly maintains one of the longest-standing relationships with Bastyr University and was among the first companies to bring high-quality glandular thyroid supplements to the professional market.


Why Quality Matters in Glandular Sourcing

Not all glandular products are created equal. The source and processing of the glandular tissue dramatically affect the product’s safety, purity, and nutritional value.
