hyperthyroidism support
Hyperthyroidism is the most common endocrine disease in cats and can appear in any cat. It is caused by an excess of circulating thyroid hormones that result in a high metabolic state, which causes changes in many different body organs of your kitty. Finding the right diet for cats with hyperthyroidism can be helpful for managing the condition.
What Is Hyperthyroidism?
In most cats, the cause of this disorder is unknown, and it may be related to environmental, nutritional, or other factors. Your kitty can present weight loss, muscle wasting, decreased ability to jump onto objects, increased appetite, vomiting, increased thirst and urination, nervousness, hyperactivity, and increased vocalization.
The diagnosis is based on the measurement of a thyroid hormone (T4) in the blood. Treatment can consist of medical therapy, surgery, radiation therapy with radioactive iodine, and injection of the thyroid gland with ethanol, and changes in the diet.
Iodine And Hyperthyroidism
Iodine is an element that is required for the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones and it is known to control thyroid function. Inadequate levels of iodine can lead to or worsen thyroid disease, as well as cause other significant health concerns.
A recent innovation in feline hyperthyroidism therapy is the introduction of a low iodine diet. However, this diet is recommended for kitties that can’t tolerate pills or are difficult to medicate, and for pet owners that cannot afford surgery or radiation.
Iodine-Restricted Diet
Nutritional therapy involves feeding a special diet with a restriction of iodine content to control the production of thyroid hormones. In some cases, an iodine-restricted diet controls feline hyperthyroidism.
Maintaining an iodine-restricted diet can be difficult for multiple reasons.
Maintaining an iodine-restricted diet can be difficult for multiple reasons. The pet on the diet cannot have anything other than their iodine-restricted food. That means no other foods, treats, or supplements, only the prescribed diet. Some cats can be very picky and may not like the taste of the diet. In addition, if you have other cats in the home, they can’t eat the iodine-restricted food unless they also suffer from hyperthyroidism. Iodine is an important component in the diet of healthy cats, they need it.
If your little one is on medication, a diet restriction in iodine is also important. So, avoid giving foods that are high in iodine such as seaweed, dairy, tuna, shrimp, eggs, and salt. It is important to talk with your vet before starting to feed your little one an iodine-restricted diet.
Natural Support For Cats With Hyperthyroidism
Natural supplements like NHV Resthyro also may be helpful for pets with hyperthyroidism that are not on a iodine-restricted diet. Resthyro is an herbal formula that helps balance thyroid hyperactivity and can relieve hyperthyroid-related symptoms such as excessive appetite, thirst, and urination. Also helps to relieve tension and irritability and aids with digestion.

Benefits of Using Turmeric for Cats Daily
What goes into your cat’s body every day will make a difference when it is time to fight a disease, or when they already have one. That’s why NHV supplements are designed to be given each and every day for things like:
Joint Support: can be used for supporting cats with arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Cancer Support: can cats with cancer use turmeric? Yes! Turmeric can be used as a companion supplement to veterinary care for cats who have cancer. In fact it can help scavenge for free radicals and is rich in antioxidants.

It can even be used proactively before your furry friend becomes sick in the first place by giving them a regular boost of natural goodness!
Healing Properties of Turmeric
Turmeric itself is a root with vibrant orange-golden flesh. It’s golden in the world of herbalism for pets with its many healing properties.
- Can help arthritic conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties and COX2 inhibitors
- Can support autoimmune disorders by potentially improving the signaling pathways of immune cells
- Can benefit cats with cancer due to its antioxidant content
- Can support liver disorders through detoxification
- Can support heart conditions through improved circulation
- Can help to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) which cats are prone to
- Can help reduce the risk of blood clotting
One of turmeric’s most well-recognized healing properties is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants can help scavenge for free radicals, which are unstable molecules that cause damage to the cells. The free radical scavenging properties of turmeric can support the body in processing and removing these molecules, minimizing the damage they can do.
