TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) increases the activity of the Sodium-Iodine Symporter (NIS) that drives iodine into the thyroid and into the cells of the other organs. That is the reason that the TSH blood levels increase when patients are taking iodine â the TSH is needed to drive iodine into the cells.
My TSH level has raised. Iodine is a mineral which helps to regulate thyroid function. A deficiency in this hormone can cause health complications relating to the cardiovascular system, hair skin and nails, metabolism, hormone production, nervous system and immune system.pproximately 30% of dietary Iodine is absorbed into the bloodstream, via the stomach, and is sent to the thyroid as this gland requires it for self regulation and hormone production. It is approximated that about 75mcg of Iodine is utilized daily for the production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4).
