This means that vitamin A deficiency reduces the amount of TSH released by the pituitary gland and, by extension, this reduces the production of thyroid hormones and also thyroid functions.

However, you can catch hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism symptoms before they get worse by getting tested for the thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH.

Upon stimulation by thyroid - stimulating hormone (TSH), the thyroid produces two main hormones: thyroxine (T4), the major form of thyroid hormone in the blood, and triiodothyronine (T3), the active hormone (three to four times more potent than T4), which primarily regulates the metabolic machinery inside cells.
