The #Thyroid Stimulating #Hormone helps growing #children, #teens, and even #babies in the #womb grow #bonetissue at a healthy rate and replenish old #tissue. #Thyroidhormones regulate the rate that #bone tissue is broken down - if they're too high, the tissue breaks down faster than it can be replaced, leading to #osteoporosis and #brittlebones. Proper #estrogen levels, which the gland also regulates, can help #women, especially older adults past #menopause, mitigate or avoid osteoporosis.
