Hormone Replacement Therapy – Thyroid Hormone

Hormone Replacement Therapy - Thyroid Hormone

Produced by the thyroid gland – this metabolic hormone regulates temperature, metabolism and cerebral function. It contributes to energy levels and the body’s ability to maintain a constant temperature. It increases fat breakdown, thereby reducing cholesterol levels and body weight.

Thyroid hormone is probably the safest and most beneficial cholesterol reducing agent - yet it is infrequently used for this. It is also vital in the prevention of cognitive impairment.
