Hypothyroidism is the name given to the condition where the thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It is extremely common for sufferers of all ages but has also been linked to the aging process as a natural decline in thyroid function.
Hypothyroidism can cause a number of symptoms that lead to a poorer quality of life and related health conditions, such as fatigue, constipation, weakness, weight gain and dry skin. It is important to treat hypothyroidism, as left untreated the sufferer will feel unwell in a number of ways and can also suffer from the symptoms in terms of mental health and reduced mobility.
There are a number of synthetic thyroid hormone tablets often prescribed to treat this condition but looking at natural supplements to treat hypothyroidism is also beneficial, as these contain the full spectrum of Thyroid hormones (T1, T2, T3 and T4) as opposed to just one or two.
