Iodine

Iodine is an essential trace mineral critical for thyroid function and the production of hormones that regulate metabolism, energy, growth, and neurological development. It plays a key role in maintaining metabolic rate, supporting hormone balance, and contributing to proper fetal and early childhood development.

Within this section, you’ll find curated research exploring iodine’s role in thyroid health, its relationship with nutrients such as selenium and iron, and how both deficiency and excess can impact the body. This includes discussion on dietary sources, absorption, and factors that may influence iodine status, including environmental exposures and individual variability.
