Iodine

Aka: Iodine
  1. Physiology
    1. Iodine (I) has atomic number 53 and atomic weight 126.90
    2. Non-metal in the halogen group
    3. Essential for Thyroid hormone synthesis
  2. Dosing: Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)
    1. Men and women: 150 mcg daily
    2. Pregnancy: 220 mcg daily
    3. Lactation: 290 mcg daily
  3. Precautions
    1. Iodine intake >500 mcg daily offers no benefit
    2. Iodine intake >1100 mcg daily may result in toxicity (inhibits Thyroid hormone synthesis)
  4. Sources: Multivitamins
    1. Many Prenatal Vitamins contain 150 mcg Iodine
  5. Sources: Dietary
    1. Iodized salt (400 mcg per 1 tsp)
      1. Not all salt is iodized (check labeling)
