Phytohormones

Ever laugh or cry or get mad or get hungry? That’s your hormones hard at work. Phytohormones are as the name implies plant derived building blocks that your body can use to rapidly create any hormone that your body needs. These substances also called phytosterols are vital to a healthy balanced endocrine or hormonal system. There are not hormones; instead phytosterols are nutrients your body must have so it can support a biological function that occurs naturally in every person in this world called hormonal system modulation.

Hormones are chemical substances produced by an organ or cells of an organ in one part of your body, when you eat foods or supplements that contain these essential nutrients called phytosterols your body uses these nutrients to produce the hormones it requires. This is a natural process and there is no synthetic drug or supplement that can mimic this process.

The major problem for people in westernized cultures is that we do not get enough of these essential nutrients from our current food intake and it is becoming more difficult, not to mention all the factors that interfere with this process.

Men and women should consume 30-50mg of these photosterol plant foods daily.

On average we only get 2-4 mg per day, that is less than 10% of what you must have to balance your body’s hormonal system. Hormones can affect many vial functions in your body. That’s why keeping your hormones in their proper balance is essential to your health and the way you live.

Your hormonal system is responsible for many functions, such as converting calories to energy, supporting the efficient burning of fat, recovering from stress, regulating you heart beat, producing adrenalin, assisting your lungs to process oxygen, regulating your cholesterol levels, controlling blood sugar levels, decreasing inflammatory conditions in you system and stabilizing call DNA. That is just a portion of what your hormonal system is responsible for. You can see how vitally important a proper balanced hormonal system is to your health and well being. When you system is out of balance, the results can be disastrous. It is now recognized that many health conditions such as chronic fatigue, PMS, insomnia, frequent illness, etc. are related to imbalanced adrenal hormone output and reserve.
