What ARE hormones and WHERE do they come from?!

  Hormones are substances that are secreted directly into the blood stream !!

Hormones are produced by the glands of the Endocrine System!!

Some hormones act on the cells of the gland !that produced them; other hormones act on neighboring cells!!

•  "Examples are estrogen, testosterone, aldosterone, cortisol!

  Non-Steroid hormones are derived from amino acids!!

•  "Examples are insulin, oxytosin, thyroxine, epinephrine!!


is an incredibly finely tuned system.!


If just ONE of the glands is not functioning properly, then the whole system is compromised. !That is why treating only one gland at a time will not bring about balance to the body.!
