Indium is believed to be the mineral of glandular performances. The research suggests that indium works via the hypothalamus / pituitary / adrenal axis (HPA). These glands controls the functions of 40 endocrine glands and help regulating the production of hormones including human growth hormone, DHEA, melatonin, thyroid hormones and steroids. The hypothalamus is part of the central nervous system. Located right at the center of the brain, the gland is the key of homeostasis and parasympatic functions such as respiratory functions, body temperature, food and water consumption and gastro-intestinal stimulation. The pituitary gland commands the diffusion of growth hormones and sexual glands. The surrenals produce sterols such as adrenalin, epinephrin and cortisol. Those hormones regulates the effects of inflammation as well as pain perception, fatigue and mental vigilance.
