Go more in-depth on one deficiency.


    • Iodine is an essential trace mineral

    • It is not made by the body so must be obtained by food or supplements.

    • It is found naturally in some foods and is added to supplements and some salt seasonings.

    • Iodine is needed to make the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine.

    • Without enough iodine, these thyroid hormones do not work properly and can lead to an under-active or overactive thyroid gland.

    • This can lead to medical conditions of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism with various negative side effects in the body.

    • If you do not have enough iodine in your diet, the thyroid gets larger to try and capture all the iodine it can.
