Iodine

Iodine is a macromineral essential for healthy thyroid function due to the role it plays in the production of thyroid hormones, which help regulate metabolism and energy production in the body as well as cellular oxidation. Since thyroid hormones play a role in all body functions, iodine is of vital importance to overall health; yet iodine deficiency is estimated to affect at least 200 million people worldwide, due in part to depleted soil conditions.
