What does iodine do?
Iodine helps the thyroid gland, in the neck, to make the hormone thyroxine. Thyroxine controls many of the ways certain body cells work.
Iodine is needed to make the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which assist with the creation of proteins and enzyme activity, as well as regulating normal metabolism. Without enough iodine, these thyroid hormones do not work properly and can lead to an under-active or overactive thyroid gland, causing the medical conditions of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism with various negative side effects in the body.
Thyroxine is important for the growth of bones and nerves, and affects how proteins, fats and carbohydrates are used in the body (metabolism).
It is essential for the development of the brain and nervous system, the 5 senses, alertness and coordination. Iodine deficiency is the most common worldwide cause of preventable mental retardation.
Too little iodine is a risk factor for hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include:
- extreme tiredness, fatigue, lethargy
- weakness
- feeling cold / sensitivity to cold
- constipation
- difficulty concentrating
- hair loss
- dry skin and hair
- weight gain
- an enlarged thyroid (goitre), which shows up as a lump in the neck
