Located in the neck, below the windpipe the thyroid is the gland that produces the hormones T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine), which regulate a number of important activities in our body. Thyroid hormones have essential functions in the growth and development of the body, cell multiplication, heart rate, calorie burning and thermogenesis, which is the regulation of internal temperature. They also act on the reproductive system, which makes their good performance fundamental in women's health at different stages of life
