Is there any data on Cortitrol and hyperthyroid?
A. We do not have any data on the use of Cortitrol in hyperthyroid conditions or the medicine tapazole. Our research and experience has involved healthy adults in non-disease states. Cortisol is one of many hormones that affect homeostasis in the human body; therefore, the effect of cortisol and other hormones will have some effect on thyroid hormone. However, we are unsure exactly what this effect would be. Preliminary independent research suggests that the herb, epimedium, supports the normal function of the thyroid, but there is no data to determine the affect in hyperthyroid patients.
