Our endocrine system consists of glands including the thyroid and adrenal glands which produce hormones for a wide range of functions. These include regulating growth and development, metabolism, sexual function, sleep, mood, among other things.
Hormones such as oestrogen, testosterone, adrenaline and insulin are all extremely important chemical messengers that impact many aspects of our overall health. Hormones are secreted by various glands and organs, including your thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, ovaries, testicles and pancreas. The entire endocrine system works together to control the level of hormones circulating throughout your body, and if one or more is even slightly imbalanced, it can cause widespread, major health problems.
Therefore we have designed this blend to help support the health and function of the endocrine system
