Iodine Deficiency

Iodine is a very important essential mineral, but unfortunately not many foods are rich in it. The foods with the highest iodine content are tuna, shrimp, seaweed and eggs.

200 mcg iodine = 1 kg tuna = 500 ml milk = 8 eggs = 1 capsule Iodine 200mcg.

Since it is so difficult to get iodine from food and the consequences of iodine deficiency are so severe, countries have been adding iodine to table salt for decades. Recently, however, people throughout the Western world have begun to reduce their salt intake, thanks to calls for healthier lifestyles. Many have given up sea salt altogether and switched to Himalayan or rock salt.

All of this comes at the expense of the important mineral iodine.

Who is vulnerable to iodine deficiency?

At least 400 million [1] people live in European countries where there is no mandatory legislation on iodized salt. According to the ICCIDD [2] (International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders), adults do not consume adequate amounts of iodine in their diet. You may also have an insufficient iodine intake if you:

• use non-iodized salt (such as unrefined sea salt, Himalayan and other rock salts),
• eat little or no dairy products, seafood and eggs,
• eat a vegetarian or vegan diet,
• live in regions with iodine-depleted soils (e.g. mountainous regions and river valleys prone to flooding),
• are pregnant.

To ensure you are getting enough iodine in your diet, it is a good idea to take a high-quality supplement such as Iodine 200mcg.
