The thyroid gland is a tiny gland in the throat that helps control metabolism, among its many other functions. When it’s sluggish, the thyroid gland doesn’t put out enough of the thyroid hormone, and this is called hypothyroidism.The opposite is true with hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland puts out too much thyroid hormone.

Hypothyroidism causes the body to have a slow rate of metabolism, although there are many other bodily functions that the thyroid regulates.Symptoms of hypothyroidism include dry skin, intolerance of cold, hair loss, feelings of sluggishness, lack of energy, slow heartbeat, and a need for greater than average amount of sleep. Hyperthyroidism causes the body to have a fast metabolism, and can cause rapid heartbeat, weight loss, trembling, intolerance to heat, and trouble sleeping. You can see why it might be an important element in weight control. If you suspect you may have one of these challenges, it’s imperative that you see a health care professional, because both of these problems have the potential to be fatal is left untreated.

The thyroid gland is part of the hormonal system and is controlled by the anterior pituitary gland, which is in turn controlled by the hypothalamus.The hypothalamus is the master of this system and controls areas of the brain, the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the thymus, the pancreas, the adrenal glands, the ovaries and the testes. It’s about the size of an almond, and it links the nervous system to the endocrine system, the system from which hormones come.

People with minor fluctuations may be able to control some of the fluctuations with nutrition.

What is becoming extremely popular today is using an amino acid brain supplement to support this hormonal balance. HCF Happy, Calm & Focused is a brain supplement that actually supports penetrating the blood brain barrier to nourish the hypothalamus, the very part of the brain involved in thyroid function.It does this with amino acids, particularly amino acid F (DL-Phenylalanine), along with vitamins and minerals designed to work synergistically with the amino acids. The body does not create this amino acid, so it must come from an outside source. Normally, we would get enough of this amino acid from foods like fish, meat, eggs, cheese and milk. However, the amount people would need to eat per day in order to provide enough of this amino acid is enormous, more than most people could eat in a week, let alone one day.HCF can provide these amino acids in just a few small capsules a day.
