Hormones are proteins that behave like powerful chemical messengers. They are delivered to body tissues through the blood. Working together like a finely tuned symphony, they regulate everything from reproduction and emotions to general health and well-being.

Hormones are produced by the various glands and organs in the body, and then metabolized by the liver. Maintaining the proper balance of hormones in the body is essential to good health. Factors that affect hormone levels include your stage of development (puberty through menopause) as well as sleep, diet, stress, exercise, medications and the environment.
