Glands and Hormones
Each endocrine gland has a particular trace mineral or mineraloid that is especially important for its functioning. The following table lists endocrine glands and their gland-specific nutrient and mineral activators.
| Gland | Glandular Support | Mineral Activator | Critical Nutrient |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pituitary | Neonatal lamb pituitary and hypothalamus tissue (Cytozyme-PT/HPT) | Manganese (Mn-Zyme) | For sensitivity to vitamin A deficiency, consider Bio-Ae-Mulsion |
| Nutrient complex with neonatal lamb pituitary and hypothalamus glandular tissue and synergistic nutrients for pituitary and thyroid balance (Thyrostim) | For vitamin E deficiency consider E-Mulsion 200 | ||
| For iodine deficiency consider Liquid iodine Forte | |||
| These nutrients need to be supplied in physiological balance. Pituitary is particulary sensitive to excessive iron buildup |
