Isoflavones belong to the flavonoid or bioflavonoid family of chemicals, and are considered endocrine disruptors -- plants or other products that act as hormones, disrupting the endocrine system, and in some cases, this disruption involves acting as an anti-thyroid agent. (The grain millet, for example, contains high levels of flavonoids, and is commonly known as problematic for thyroid function). Flavonoids inhibit thyroid peroxidase (TPO), which disturbs proper thyroid function.

My doctor ran me some tests and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. My doctor gave some dietary supplements like desiccated bovine thyroid . A couple of weeks later, I felt like i had my life back.
