Endocrine disruptors (also called endocrine disruptors in English) are man-made chemicals that interfere with the functioning of our own hormones.
Hormone disruptors include parabens, phthalates, etc.
Examples of these substances are parabens, phthalates, bisphenols and many more. They have the ability to unbalance our natural hormones. Our endocrine system consists of various signaling devices that regulate important functions throughout the body such as our emotions, immune system, sleep, metabolism and so on. But endocrine disrupting substances can block this crucial role. You can often encounter these substances in everyday products.
There are now many thousands of endocrine disruptors.
They are in our food, cosmetics, plastic packaging and household products, things we come in contact with every day. Overexposure to them can cause an imbalance in the body. In fact, endocrine disruptors get in the way of organic functions, they make the communication of our own hormones in the body less smooth.
