Non-toxic goiter - goitre

Our thyroid gland is a small organ in the lower neck area. Due to iodine deficiency, our thyroid gland tries to compensate for the deficiency with excessive activity, and thus also excessive cell formation.

We call the thyroid gland in an enlarged state goiter, or colloquially also goiter. It produces messenger substances for our organism and acts, for example, on our organs, muscles, nervous system and heartbeat.

If many messenger substances are normally produced in an enlarged thyroid gland, it is called a non-toxic goiter or hypothyroid goiter.
