Where is your thyroid gland and how do you know if you have an issue?
Your thyroid is a vital hormone gland and plays a major role in the metabolism, growth and development of the human body. It produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolic rate; controlling heart, muscle and digestive function, brain development and bone maintenance.
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the front of your neck, just below your Adam's apple.
