THYROID FUNCTION:Key to Metabolism & Health

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland that sits behind and below your Adam’s apple. When it’s working properly, you can’t feel it.

A range of factors from hormone imbalances to mineral deficiencies & environmental pollutants can interfere with thyroid production, leading to health problems.

The American Thyroid Association estimates that up to 60% with thyroid disease are unaware.

Women are 7 times more likely than men to develop thyroid problems.
