Most of the harmful actions caused by endocrine disruptors come from disrupting the endocrine glands (surprise, surprise).
These glands are the thyroid (being the most major and critical gland, I believe), testis/ovaries, pineal, pit. gland, pt gland, ad. gland and the pancreas.
If we assume that the most critical gland and of which the body's most important hormones are synthesized is the thyroid, it would probably then make sense to supplement thyroid hormone if it is the most critical hormone being inhibited by the aforementioned disrupting chemicals.
Already, there are studies pointing the finger towards the reduction in body temp. being caused by EDs' thyroid inhibitory effect.[1]
