Hashimoto's Thyroiditis


Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is one iteration of autoimmune thyroid disease. An autoimmune disease occurs when your body’s immune system gets out of control and starts redirecting your antibodies to attack your organs, cells or even tissues. In the case of Hashimoto’s, this autoimmune disease manages to attack and destroy your thyroid gland. The thyroid helps set the rate of metabolism which is the rate at which the body efficiently uses energy. Basically Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis prevents your thyroid gland from producing enough thyroid hormones for the body to work correctly. 

Occurrence of autoimmune disease

Unfortunately about 75% of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during their childbearing years. 

Symptoms of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

While Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis might creep up on some patients and some patients even report no symptoms, some common symptoms have manifested over the years. Some of the more common symptoms are fatigue, depression, and sensitivity to cold, weight gain, muscle weakness, coarsening of the skin, dry or brittle hair, constipation, muscle cramps, increased menstrual flow, and goiter which is an enlargement of the thyroid gland.

Treatment

Very Important: No medical claim is made on any particular product. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for treatment by your licensed medical professional.

Traditionally Hashimoto's Thyroiditis can usually be treated with thyroid hormone replacement. However, users of Mangosteen juice report some powerful improvements.
