Hormones are made up of proteins, and they help regulate the way your body functions. Your brain, for instance, uses hormones to tell your whole body when it needs to enter a restful state or when it needs to work harder.
Your hormones are responsible for managing your mood, metabolism, sleep cycle, stress, libido, and reproduction.
The best hormone replacement is a multimineral formula that helps to support your body’s hormones naturally.
Hormone replacement therapy is a type of medical treatment that aims to increase or restore the natural production of hormones by the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many functions in your body, including digestion, metabolism, growth and development, homeostasis (the maintenance of your internal environment), sleep, and mood.
Hormone levels can fluctuate naturally due to a variety of factors such as diet and exercise habits as well as certain diseases like cancer or diabetes. However, small fluctuations in hormone levels may also be caused by stress or other chronic health conditions such as depression.
The production of sex hormones decreases with age. This includes estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in women and testosterone in men. The decline in these hormones is a common cause of many of the ailments associated with aging, including weight gain, low libido, and bone loss that increases the risk of osteoporosis.
