Iodine enters the body through iodine-rich foods, including certain salts (âiodized saltâ), eggs, sea vegetables and fish. We rely on iodine to create thyroxine (T4 hormone) and triiodothyronine (T3), two of the main hormones produced by the thyroid that control numerous important functions.
Iodine deficiency disorders affect 740 million people worldwide. Iodine is abundant in all products from the sea, especially in algae (kelp), marine iodised salt, shellfish and sea fish (sardines), but is also found in radishes, onions, mushrooms, turnips, pineapple and egg white.
