How To Look After Your Thyroid Gland

Image
WHAT IS THE THYROID GLAND? The thyroid is part of the endocrine system, which is made up of glands that produce, store, and release hormones into the bloodstream so the hormones can reach the body's cells.

These cells combine iodine and the amino acid tyrosine to make T3 and T4.

Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of their metaboli
