Detailed explanation-1: -It is found naturally in some foods and is added to supplements and some salt seasonings. Iodine is needed to make the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which assist with the creation of proteins and enzyme activity, as well as regulating normal metabolism.
Detailed explanation-2: -To start the feedback loop, your hypothalamus releases thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH) which, in turn, stimulates your pituitary gland to produce and release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then triggers your thyroid to produce T4 and T3.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thyroid gland, anterior pituitary gland, and hypothalamus comprise a self-regulatory circuit called the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
