Your Thyroid: What it is and What it does. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the lower, front part of your neck. It controls your metabolism and keeps your whole body functioning properly. Get the basics (and specifics) here.
The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine, found in many foods, and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine. These cells combine iodine and the amino acid tyrosine to make T3 and T4.
