Underactive thyroid gland , which is one of the endocrine glands responsible for regulating the basic functions of the body, and is considered the engine that keeps the human body functioning properly.
The thyroid gland is located in the neck, and its name is derived from the Greek word that means “shield.” It represents an important line of defense for the rest of the body’s organs. It produces the T3 and T4 hormones that regulate breathing, heartbeat, muscle strength, body temperature, and more.
When the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones to meet the body’s needs, some vital functions slow down.
