A carefully selected blend of plant ingredients traditionally known for supporting the thyroid gland naturally.
Traditional and Educational Overview
What Is Hyperthyroidism?
In traditional veterinary understanding, hyperthyroidism refers to an increase in the activity of the thyroid glands, resulting in higher levels of thyroid hormone within the body. This condition is most often seen in older cats, and is uncommon in dogs.
The thyroid glands, located in the neck region, influence energy metabolism, growth, and general vitality. In some animals, one or both glands may become enlarged, which can alter hormone output. Because thyroid hormones affect many organ systems, the observable signs of imbalance can vary between individuals.
Cats experiencing thyroid overactivity are often mature or senior, with the average age around 13 years. Only a small percentage of affected cats are under 10 years old.
In cases where the thyroid area is enlarged, nearby structures such as the parathyroid glands, surrounding nerves, or voice box may also be affected. This can occasionally contribute to secondary changes such as altered vocalisation, differences in eye appearance, or variations in calcium balance.
While these patterns have been described in traditional and veterinary contexts, any suspicion of thyroid imbalance should always be assessed by a qualified veterinarian. Complementary nutritional or herbal approaches are considered supportive only and are not intended as a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment.
Thyroid and Liver Health
Thyroid hormones play a key role in maintaining normal growth, organ development, and overall metabolic balance in animals.
In horses, changes in thyroid activity are uncommon. True hypothyroidism in adult horses is not well understood and may be less frequent than once thought. In cats and dogs, thyroid balance can vary with age and general health. Maintaining good nutrition and avoiding chemical exposure is traditionally regarded as supportive for overall wellbeing.
If your animal has had thyroid testing and still appears unwell, this may suggest that other body systems—such as the liver—also need support. Professional veterinary guidance should always be sought for diagnosis and management. Natural nutritional and herbal blends are traditionally used as complementary support for overall balance and vitality.
Note: “Saddle thrombus” in cats is sometimes observed alongside cases of hyperthyroid imbalance.
Understanding Hyperthyroid States
Hyperthyroidism refers to an increased activity of the thyroid glands, leading to higher circulating levels of thyroid hormone. It is seen most often in older cats, and rarely in dogs. Cats with thyroid over activity are typically mature or senior (often over 10 years old).
The thyroid glands, located in the neck, can sometimes enlarge, resulting in higher hormone output. Because thyroid hormones influence metabolism throughout the body, changes may show up as shifts in appetite, energy, coat quality, or temperament.
Traditional observation lists include:
-
Changes in body weight or appetite
-
Restlessness or increased activity
-
Occasional vomiting or digestive upset
-
Changes in thirst or urination patterns
-
Variations in coat texture or shedding
-
Vocalisation or altered temperament
These signs can appear gradually, so careful monitoring is important. If notable changes occur, professional veterinary assessment is essential to rule out underlying causes.
Physical Signs Sometimes Associated with Thyroid Imbalance
Physical changes may include visible swelling in the neck area, or differences in breathing or swallowing patterns. Affected animals may appear thinner despite normal or increased appetite.
In some cases, a palpable mass over the throat region may be noted by a veterinary practitioner. This can contribute to breathing or swallowing difficulty and requires professional evaluation.
Because thyroid function interacts with the heart, animals with longstanding imbalances may develop heart-related changes such as altered rhythm or rate.
These signs may overlap with other conditions, including digestive or liver congestion. Supporting general wellness through balanced nutrition, reduced chemical exposure, and appropriate practitioner-guided supplements is often recommended as part of holistic care.
Understanding Liver Balance
The liver plays a vital role in filtering waste products, supporting digestion, and regulating metabolism. In traditional wellness systems, maintaining liver balance is seen as essential for overall vitality.
When the liver is under strain, various behavioural and physical changes may appear. These may include:
-
Disorientation or confusion after eating
-
Unsteady movement or apparent “wobbliness”
-
Changes in alertness, activity, or training response
-
Periods of aimless pacing or circling
-
Increased thirst, drooling, or altered appetite
-
Digestive upsets such as vomiting or soft stools
-
Unusual vocalisation or sudden mood changes
If these signs are noticed, veterinary evaluation is advised. Natural liver support blends such as herbal tonics or botanical extracts are traditionally used to help maintain balance, but should only be used as adjuncts to professional care.
Circulatory and Neurological Observations (e.g., Stroke-Like Episodes)
Occasionally, animals may experience sudden weakness, loss of coordination, or difficulty standing. These changes can have several causes, including circulatory events, inner ear imbalance, or other systemic conditions.
A sudden onset of disorientation or collapse always warrants immediate veterinary assessment. Traditional herbal or nutritional approaches can only play a supportive role once professional care has identified and stabilised the underlying condition.
Integrating Veterinary and Natural Support
In some cases, animals prescribed thyroid-regulating medications (for example, methimazole) may also benefit from supportive natural formulas. These may help maintain overall balance and nutritional resilience. Any adjustment to prescribed medication should be done only under veterinary supervision.
Reducing chemical exposure and supporting liver function through appropriate diet, hydration, and natural herbal blends may contribute to improved wellbeing over time.

e.g The Bugleweed herb (Lycopus virginicus)
is traditionally known to calm excess thyroid activity. Its action inhibits the binding of antibodies to the thyroid gland, which is important because these antibodies are linked to the most common form of hyperthyroidism, known as Graves disease. By reducing this antibody binding, Bugleweed helps ease the over stimulation of the thyroid, making it especially useful in cases of mildly overactive thyroids where it can support balance and reduce symptoms tied to excess hormone production.
