Thyroid Strong™: HPT Axis

Science has already established that stress disrupts the HPT Axis. Excess cortisol and inflammatory cytokines that are released during a stress response will slow down the conversion of T4 to the active form of T3. At the same time, they will speed up the conversion to reverse T3.

Stress mediators can also induce thyroid hormone resistance, which is similar to insulin resistance.

Adaptogens that we include in Thyroid Strong can address all of the stress-related outside factors that disrupt the thyroid system.
