Iodine is a natural chemical element similar to oxygen, hydrogen, and iron. Seaweed, saltwater fish, and other seafood, dairy products (primarily milk), and eggs are rich in iodine. You can use iodized salt instead of regular salt when cooking. You can also take iodine supplements, such as these vegetarian tablets Nature's Fusions, Nutri, Potassium Iodide. Potassium iodide is an iodine compound that is essential for normal thyroid function. Iodine in the form of iodide is an essential component of thyroid secretion, regulating cellular metabolism and energy production. Iodine is a nutrient and a vital element in the human body, essential for overall health at all stages of life.

First and foremost, it is essential for normal thyroid function (iodine deficiency is the main cause of thyroid problems), especially before and during pregnancy and in nursing mothers, and for normal brain development in the fetus and newborn. When iodine enters the bloodstream, the thyroid gland absorbs the amount needed to produce its hormones, which are released into the bloodstream and delivered to all parts of the body. Every cell in every tissue and every organ requires thyroid hormones, which enable the body to properly utilize energy, participate in heat conservation, and support the active functioning of the brain, heart, muscles, and all other organs.

Iodine is important for the nervous system, maintaining immunity, lowering blood cholesterol, and preventing the development of atherosclerosis. Iodine deficiency in the body can lead to heart and vascular problems; impaired growth, mental development (cretinism), and emotional stability; muscle pain; and skin and nail problems.
