The thyroid gland is an organ located in the lower part of the neck that produces two hormones and has an indispensable role in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the human body. The hormones help maintain an important energy balance. In order for these hormones to be produced and to act in sufficient amounts, iodine is absolutely key. If a person had an iodine deficiency, it used to manifest, for example, as an enlargement of the thyroid gland, the so-called goiter.
Many people suffer from various thyroid diseases, among which are primarily hyperthyroidism, that is increased activity of the thyroid gland, and hypothyroidism, that is decreased activity of the thyroid gland. After a respiratory tract infection, inflammation of the thyroid gland can sometimes also occur, which is manifested particularly by the thyroid gland swelling and the area being painful; the affected person may sweat excessively and is often very tired.
