There are two types of thyroid disorders Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is the overactivity of the thyroid gland(1*), while hypothyroidism is under activity(2*). The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck and affects almost all of your body's metabolic processes.
Hyperthyroidism - Overactivity Of The Thyroid Gland
A person with a hyperthyroid disorder has an overactive thyroid gland. Graves Disease is one of the most common disorders(3*), leading to an overactive thyroid and too much thyroid hormone. It is pretty easy to spot a person with a thyroid disorder since one of the most common symptoms is a noticeable goiter or enlargement of the thyroid gland. This is due to the increased activity in that area, which is why the thyroid gland hypertrophies.
Hyperthyroid disorder symptoms include(4*):
* Irregular heart rate
* Weight loss and increased appetite
* Sweating
* Intolerance to warm weather
* Infrequent menstruation cycles
* Frequent bowel movements
* Emotional disturbances
* Enlargement in the neck area
* Sleep disturbances
* Eye problems such as eye protrusion or eye irritation
The causes of hyperthyroidism vary. Some cases may be due to hereditary factors, while others may be attributable to an underlying disease process, such as Plummer’s disease(5*), thyroid gland inflammation, and pituitary tumors. Grave’s disease, which is the most common form of hyperthyroidism, is said to be an autoimmune disorder(6*). Too many thyroid medications can also cause hyperthyroidism and excessive intake of iodine-rich foods.
Several options are available to treat hyperthyroidism. It all depends on varying factors, such as the patient's age, the type of hyperthyroidism, the underlying cause, the concurrent medical conditions, the severity of the disorder, and even the doctor’s preference.
Antithyroid medications such as propylthiouracil and methimazole are the most straightforward and least invasive ways to treat hyperthyroidism(7*). These medications inhibit the uptake of iodine in the thyroid gland, thus reducing the amount of thyroid hormone produced and regulating the gland’s activity. These medications may be coupled with beta-blockers to deal with the thyroid hormones in the bloodstream.
Another way to treat hyperthyroidism is through radioactive iodine therapy(8*) in which the patient takes radioactive iodine. When the thyroid gland absorbs this radioactive iodine, it damages its cells, thereby shrinking the gland and halting its activity. The radioactive iodine leaves the patient’s body through waste elimination in a few days, but the disorder can reoccur within a few months.
Surgery is an option for people with large goiters and those who've had relapses. The procedure is called a total or partial thyroidectomy, which removes the thyroid gland or just a part of it(9*).However, when the thyroid gland is removed, the opposite condition ensues – hypothyroidism. An individual who has undergone a thyroidectomy must take thyroid hormone replacements for life.
Hyperthyroidism - Under Activity Of The Thyroid Gland
Hypothyroidism is the exact opposite of hyperthyroidism. It is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone because of the under activity of the thyroid gland. If untreated, hypothyroidism can give rise to two disorders – myxedema(10*), coma, and cretinism(11*). The former is an emergency, while the latter can cause mental retardation.
Hypothyroidism disorder symptoms include(12*):
* Lack of appetite
* Weight gain
* Depression
* Intolerance to cold weather
* Reduced heart rate
* Constipation
* Inability to think too clearly
* Puffy face and swollen lips
Just like hyperthyroidism, the causes of hypothyroidism are also diverse. As mentioned above, the thyroidectomy surgery used to treat hyperthyroidism will lead to hypothyroidism. The same goes for radioactive iodine therapy since it suppresses the activity of the thyroid gland. Another reason is when the hypothalamus, or the pituitary gland, fails to produce the hormones necessary to stimulate the production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland. The most common form of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the thyroid tissue, causing the tissue to die. This results in decreased hormone production.
Unlike hyperthyroidism, there is only one treatment option for hypothyroidism: thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The principle is simple – when the hormone is lacking, supply the lacking hormone. These thyroid supplements can either be natural or synthetic. Therapy may be required for life since hypothyroidism is a lifelong condition.
Mangosteen Supplements For Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism
One alternative thyroid supplement that people with hypothyroidism can use is mangosteen supplements. Mangosteen may increase the metabolism of those individuals diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Moreover, mangosteen promotes energy and can contribute to weight loss since the body can burn calories the usual way. Those who suffer from an over-active thyroid may equally benefit from mangosteen, especially in combating recurrent infections, depression, and insomnia, which are some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Scientific Studies For Mangosteen When Addressing Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism:
A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2011 found that mangosteen had anti-inflammatory effects in thyroid cells, which could benefit individuals with autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis(13*).
Another study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2013 found that mangosteen had antioxidant properties that could protect thyroid cells from oxidative stress(14*). Oxidative stress is a process that occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's antioxidant defenses, which can lead to cell damage and inflammation.
A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2017 investigated the effects of mangosteen on thyroid function. The study found that mangosteen improved thyroid function by increasing the levels of thyroid hormones and reducing the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones(15*).
A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research in 2012 investigated the effects of mangosteen on thyroid function with hypothyroidism induced by a drug called propylthiouracil. The study found that mangosteen increased the levels of thyroid hormones and reduced the levels of TSH, indicating that it may have potential as a treatment for hypothyroidism(16*).
A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry in 2018 investigated the effects of mangosteen on thyroid function and oxidative stress with hypothyroidism induced by a drug called carbimazole. The study found that mangosteen improved thyroid function and reduced oxidative stress(17).
Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen Capsules
What Is Freeze Dried?
At Natural Home Cures, we use the process of freeze drying because it’s the only way to take raw mangosteen and create a stable, nutritionally complete supplement(18*).
Freeze drying refers to taking biological material naturally high in water, freezing it, and extracting the ice from it. Freeze drying is the only process known to preserve biological material without destroying the fruits’ or vegetables’ enzymes and nutrients(19*).
Natural Home Cures places the mangosteen in a temperature and pressure-controlled environment. The pressure is significantly lowered so that the ice in the mangosteen "sublimates" and turns from solid to liquid, bypassing the liquid phase. The result is a stable substance with a long shelf life that is lightweight and maintains its nutritional content. To understand how freeze-drying works, we need to explore how the relationship between temperature and pressure affects the states of water.

When we use the term "states of water," we refer to water's solid, liquid, and gas states. For example, water in its solid state is ice, water in its liquid form is water, and water in its gaseous form is steam.
Atmospheric pressure affects how long it takes for a substance to move through the various states of matter. As a rule, low temperatures and high pressures favor a solid state, while high temperatures and low pressures favor a gaseous state. But pressure can be manipulated to create a dramatic effect in phase change called sublimation. This is where water changes phases from a solid directly to a gas: If the pressure is sufficiently low, even in the absence of high heat, ice will sublimate(20*).
Freeze-drying results in a pure supplement with all its nutrients intact. It also creates a lightweight supplement that drastically cuts shipping costs, adding savings. Finally, if you live a busy lifestyle, it’s much more convenient to take a few capsules vs. drink a glass of watered-down, full of preservatives and radiation mangosteen juice.
When choosing a mangosteen supplement, select one that provides all the health benefits you are paying for and one that only Natural Home Cures delivers. Natural Home Cures has been a global health and wellness mangosteen leader for 15 years.

Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen Capsules Are Manufactured In A Fully Verified GMP (Good Manufacture Practice) & FDA (Food & Drug Administration) Registered Facility
Natural Home Cures takes Purity & Potency seriously & follows Good Manufacturing Practices, including testing for:
-
Purity & Potency (HPLC FTIR, HPTLC:) Does the company from which you buy your mangosteen own their farms (or offer daily tours), as Natural Home Cures does? Or. are they getting their mangosteen from a contract manufacturer, who gets it from a raw source vendor, who gets it from whoever offers them the best deal regardless of the Purity & Potency?
-
The easiest way to know if your mangosteen is Pure and Potent is to look on the product label to see if there are additives, fillers, colors, flavors, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, cinnamon, or cayenne pepper, which should never be found in a health and wellness product like mangosteen. As mangosteen is a superfood all on its own. See our product label below.
