Thyroid hormone is the primary hormone in charge of regulating the rate of your body’s metabolism.
Thyroid hormone is essential for brain development in babies. Thyroid hormone is produced and released by your thyroid, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck under your skin.
Hormones are molecules that help your body coordinate diverse tasks by transporting information through your blood to your organs, muscles, and other tissues.
Thyroid hormone is a mixture of the two primary hormones produced by your thyroid gland: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
