Hyperthyroidism


Hyperthyroidism

Excessive secretion of thyroxine results in exophthalmic goiter also called Graves disease. The symptoms of the disease are:

  • Enlargement of the gland.
  • Increased metabolic rate results in quick consumption of food without anything left for storage and causing emaciation. (Leanness of body)
  • Heart beat and blood pressure rises.
  • Nervousness, initability, tremor and bulging of eye balls (exophthalmos)

This disease can be rectified by removal of a part of the gland termed thyrectomy.

  1. I have been taking natural desiccated thyroid supplements for quite some time now. I take about 3 capsules a day. I often take it before meals. Thanks to this product i feel much more alert now, my mood swings have also diminished and finally i have been losing that extra pound i gained a few months ago.
