Total Thyroid #2

The thyroid regulates the basal metabolic rate of almost every cell in the body. If the thyroid isn’t functioning right, our metabolism isn’t functioning right.

Metabolism in the cell is needed for every biochemical reaction that happens in our body. These reactions include: digestion, elimination, body temperature regulation, protein-building (including hormones, antibody formation and cell receptors), calorie-burning, nerve conduction, brain neurotransmitter production, energy creation (hypothyroidism is often the reason for fatigue), enzyme formulation, and many other important functions. Hypothyroidism can cause you to feel “off”.
 

Symptoms of low thyroid function include: weight gain, fatigue, muscle weakness, cramps, appetite loss, slow heart rate, low body temperature, sensitivity to cold, hair loss, dry skin, constipation, slow speech, difficulties in concentration, depression, irritability, painful periods, drooping swollen eyes, bumps on eyelid, swollen face, increased allergies, recurrent infections, goiter, and calcium metabolism problems.
 

Sometimes hypothyroidism is caused by an autoimmune attack on the thyroid, where antibodies destroy important thyroid molecules. This is why it is important, in any thyroid support product, to include nutrition to support homeostasisand regulation of the immune system.
