Iodine: Required for Healthy, Normally Functioning Thyroid Gland

Benefits of Iodine

  • Iodine is required for a healthy, normally functioning thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.

    Thyroid hormones control the body's basal metabolic rate (the rate at which the body uses energy).

  • Radioisotopes of iodine are used to treat thyroid cancer.

Deficiency of Iodine

A lack of iodine can result in goiter or cretinism.
