Iodine is a mineral found in some foods. The body needs iodine to make thyroid hormones. These hormones control the body's metabolism and many other important functions. The body also needs thyroid hormones for proper bone and brain development during pregnancy and infancy. Iodine supplements might interact with anti-thyroid medications such as methimazole (TapazoleÂ®), used to treat hyperthyroidism. 2  Taking high doses of iodine with anti-thyroid medications could cause your body to produce too little thyroid hormone.
