Beskrivelse

This thyroid gland dysfunction is usually caused by lack of iodine, which is the main mineral and nutrient that contributes to increased thyroid hormone production. Hypothyroidism is a condition characterized by several symptoms such as goiter, brittle fingernails, weight gain, hair loss, dry and itchy skin, sleepiness, joint pain, decreased libido especially in men and a lot more. These symptoms can affect not only the physical appearance of an individual but also his or her psychological, emotional, cardiovascular, neurological aspects of life.
