Question

general information about the iodine and how we can find a natural food have it?

Answer 1

Iodine is essential for the production of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland, which regulate the body's metabolic rate, growth and dvelopment, and promote protein synthesis. Selenium is also needed for the synthesis of the thyroid hormones.

It is rare in Western societies, deficiency reduces thyroid hormone production and leads to a lowered metabolic rate, which leads to tiredness and weight gain and the thyroid gland becoming enlarged (goitre). If iodine is deficient during pregnancy, there is a greater risk of stillbirth and miscarriage and mental retardation and growth failure in the baby.

Excessive intake of iodine can lead to goitre, although goitre is more common if the body is iodine deficient.
