Iodine is a mineral found in foods such as seafood, dairy products, and seaweed. It is essential for regulating thyroid function. An iodine deficiency can cause serious long-term conditions and side effects, such as goiter and hyperthyroidism. Pregnant people, or those planning on becoming pregnant, are at particularly high risk. They should take a prenatal vitamin with iodine and include various iodine sources in their diet to ensure they do not develop a deficiency. Typically, incorporating just a teaspoon or less of iodized salt into a person’s diet provides adequate iodine.
