OVERVIEW: Hypothyroidism (also called underactive thyroid, low thyroid, or hypothyreosis) is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.

CAUSES:

• Poorly formed or small thyroid gland
• Genetic 
• Too little iodine in the mother’s diet during pregnancy
• Radioactive iodine treatment 
• Medicines that disrupt thyroid hormone 

SYMPTOMS:

• Lack of weight gain
• Stunted growth
• Fatigue, lethargy
• Poor feeding
• Thickened facial features
• Abnormal bone growth
• Mental retardation
• Constipation

TREATMENT: Routinely screened for thyroid hormone levels. The test involves taking a small blood sample from the baby’s heel. A laboratory checks the baby’s blood levels of thyroid hormone (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Here we provide some products without any side effects helpful for all initial symptoms.
