Hormones are critical to our health. Produced by the endocrine glands, hormones are natural substances that act as the brain’s messengers. They tell the body’s internal organs how to function. When we reach middle-age we start to produce fewer hormones. Hormone production continues to decline as we grow older. Researchers now believe that hormonal decline is actually a major cause of aging.
