Thyroid Treatment
All about
Below the neck is a butterfly shaped gland, this is the largest endocrine gland in the body known as the thyroid. The thyroid is responsible for regulating the energy used or burned by the body, producing proteins and producing two very important hormones: thyroxine and triiodythyronine. These two hormones are also known as T3 and T4 hormones. They are essential to the body because of the role they play in regulating the body’s metabolism.
When the thyroid malfunctions several of the body’s functions are disrupted as well. Some of the effects of a thyroid that does not function properly are weight gain, hair fall, dryness of skin, puffiness around the eye area, fatigue and even a reduction in mental functions.
Treatments
Thyroid treatments may differ based on the thyroid disease being addressed. Two main malfunctions are hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. In the case of hyperthyroidism the thyroid gland secretes an excessive amount of hormones; this can be treated in several ways.
Drug treatment makes use of medication to control the amount of hormones released by the thyroid gland.
Radioactive iodine treatment is done with a capsule or drink that contains radiodine. This is absorbed by the cells and damages them resulting in a shrinkage of the thyroid.
Surgery can be done through a procedure called thyroidectomy, to remove portions of the thyroid to reduce the amount of hormones that it produces.
For Hypothyroidism, the thyroid is underactive, meaning that it does not produce enough hormones; because the main cause of hypothyroidism is a lack of hormones this can be treated by hormone supplementation. This can be either natural or synthetic. For those who want to opt for more natural treatments than a pill system may just be the treatment for them.
Thyromine from thyroxine and triiodythyronine is a great natural pill treatment that works well. It is made with herbs and other natural ingredients that why it is safe and effective. It’s key ingredients that make it so special are Nori and thyroid bovine powder.
Nori is a sea vegetable that is abundant in iodine and protein. Iodine is a key component of thyroid hormones; when mixed with amino acids iodine is transformed in to T3 hormones. The other key ingredient which is thyroid bovine powder contains levothyroxine and liothyronine which support the overall health and function of the thyroid. These two along with other natural ingredients support and assist each other to ensure that more healthy thyroid and a more healthy you.
