Description
Protein deficiency cause hypothyroidism:
A high daily intake of quality protein is essential for good liver function.
The liver takes care of most of the activation of the storage thyroid hormone (T4) to the active thyroid hormone (T3). A sluggish liver decreases the production of T3 and causes hypothyroidism on the cellular level.
The liver is also essential for the detoxification and secretion of harmful substances such as estrogen and endotoxins (intestinal toxins). When the liver is underperforming estrogen and endotoxins build up and create hormonal disturbances and general inflammation.
Our hypothyroid treatment program provides more information about the liver’s role in metabolism, and how you can help your liver perform better, with the right diet and vitamins.
