The #thyroidgland consists of two larger lobes. These lobes, in turn, are made up of many smaller lobules, each containing tiny capsules that store #thyroidhormones. The #thyroid secretes these #hormones as needed into the #bloodstream to regulate #energy levels, #metabolism, #growth, and #development, and #bodytemperature. While a properly functioning thyroid is important for everybody, it's especially essential for #growingchildren and #teens. #angstromminerals #traceminerals #HealthyHabits
