Did you know that the ratio of certain minerals, one to the other, is more important than the actual levels? For example, the Calcium/Potassium (Ca/K) ratio is called the thyroid ratio because both of those play a vital role in regulating thyroid activity. Sometimes the thyroid hormone blood tests will be normal, but hair analysis will indicate thyroid dysfunction because this test determines the mineral ratio. Symptoms of reduced thyroid activity are: 1. Cold hands and feet- tendency to feel cold 2. Lack of sweating 3. Fatigue 4. Dry skin and hair 5. Tendency towards constipation.
