Do You Have Thyroid Hormone Deficiency?

By some estimates, 30 to 40 percent of the population in the United States may suffer from undiagnosed hypothyroidism, or low levels of the thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland, in concert with the pituitary gland, produces hormones that have far-reaching effects on virtually every other part of the body. This self-test will help you determine if you may have lower than optimal levels of thyroid hormones.
