Product description

What is the thyroid gland?

The thyroid is a small organ located at the front of the neck, just below the Adam’s apple. It’s made up of two halves, each about 4-6 centimetres in length. The two halves form an H-shape. You usually won't be able to feel the thyroid gland in your neck when it is a normal size.

The thyroid gland releases hormones, which are chemical messengers. The hormones that the thyroid produces control your metabolism, which means that it regulates the speed at which your cells work.

A thyroid test helps determine the health of your thyroid gland if you are already experiencing some of the common symptoms. These include tiredness, weight gain or loss or if you have a family history of thyroid disease.
