Introduction

Having anything go wrong with the thyroid gland can really cause some challenging issues for a person to overcome and push through. Thyroid diseases can create concerns with progesterone and estrogen levels, cancer, and even skin issues.

And for an adult, there is nothing more embarrassing and stressful than acne showing up on your face, when you thought the teenage years were far behind you.

Normally, doctors treat the symptoms of this problem, but they do not get to the root cause, even though 30% of adults develop acne and 75% of those adults are women, according to a Canadian Dermatology Association study.

This problem can arise even when patients are eating right, exercising, and living a healthy lifestyle.

The thyroid is an endocrine gland located at the base of the neck, just below the Adam’s apple. It appears to be divided into a right and a left lobe, each about the size of a plum split into two. The two lobes are connected by a group of thyroid tissues called isthmus.

The thyroid gland produces two hormones that are released into the bloodstream. One is called triiodothyronine (T3), which is made up of 3 iodine atoms. The other is Thyroxine (T4), and it’s made up of 4 iodine atoms. Once in the body, T4 is converted into T3 and it’s this T3, either synthesized from T4 or secreted by the thyroid gland directly as T3 that is biologically active. T3 is primarily needed for the proper functioning of body cells, but it also influences bone formation, muscles, heart health, and cholesterol levels.

What is the thyroid?

Your body is comprised of a number of systems that are meant to work together. One of these systems is the endocrine system, which has various glands in the body in charge of moving chemicals and hormones throughout the body. The thyroid gland is one of those very important glands. It’s a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck below the Adam’s apple. It releases the hormones that control metabolism, which in turn controls the way your body uses energy. The hormones in your thyroid regulate body temperature, breathing, heart rate, weight, mood, and much more. In a normal functioning body, hormones are tightly regulated and in control. When the balance is disrupted, a number of problems can occur as the endocrine system has an effect on nearly every cell, function, and organ in the human body.

According to the United States National Library of Medicine, thyroid disease affects 27 million Americans. Approximately 13 million of those affected are presently undiagnosed. People suffer from low metabolism and hormone imbalance and never consider seeing a doctor. Thyroid problems can be triggered by the production of too much hormone (hyperthyroidism), too little hormone (hypothyroidism), or cancer.

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are silent epidemics. They can be hard to diagnose because in most cases they are linked to other health problems. Symptoms often appear gradually so patients may not feel like anything is wrong for a while. Most people schedule an appointment when they discover a lump on their neck. Depending on the symptoms, a doctor may perform several tests before diagnosing a thyroid disorder. If you have symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, consider taking supplements together with your medication. Try any of these natural remedies for thyroid disorders and improve your thyroid’s functionality.

If you’re having unexplainable mood swings, constantly feel tired, or have difficulty sleeping, chances are your body is producing excess thyroid hormones.

Sure, you may be eating the right foods in the right proportions, but you have no way of regulating the amount of nutrients you ingest.

As a result, you may end up suffering from hyperthyroidism (an overproduction of thyroid hormones T3 and T4).

To ensure you remain healthy, take natural supplements for hyperthyroidism. You will restore the function of your thyroid gland and keep thyroid disorders at bay.

The thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ set at the base of the neck, plays a big role in metabolism. It produces two vital hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones ensure all the cells in the body function normally. They control metabolism and regulate important bodily functions like breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body weight, and menstrual cycle. When your thyroid levels are unbalanced, your overall health is affected. Poor thyroid function is linked to several health conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, infertility, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune diseases. Many of these diseases can be prevented or eliminated by vitamins for thyroid health.
