Key Ingredients 

ThyroCaps contains ingredients that may assist with elevating Cyclic AMP (cAMP) an important signal carrier that is necessary for the proper biological response of cells to hormones. cAMP stimulates release of TSH, which in turn assists in relieving fatigue and others symptoms associated with hypo-thyroid functioning. Hypothyroidism: The principle symptom is fatigue, or lethargy, and a slowing down of one's mental processes. It affects people's mental alertness and their general strength and stamina. It also generally causes rougher, dry and thickened skin and dry hair. It can also cause depression and weight gain.
