    Iodine is an element that is critical for normal function of the thyroid gland‚ which is a key regulator of the body’s basic metabolic rate. Iodine is a micronutrient‚ meaning we require only small amounts of it. For example‚ adults need about 150 micrograms of iodine in the form of iodide ion per day. However‚ an insufficient supply of iodide via diet and drinking water causes the non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland known as goiter. Prolonged lack of iodide can lead to loss of thyroid function
