Iodine enters the body through iodine-rich foods, including certain salts (âiodized saltâ), eggs, sea vegetables and fish. We rely on iodine to create thyroxine (T4 hormone) and triiodothyronine (T3), two of the main hormones produced by the thyroid that control numerous important functions.

Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).urrently, it is estimated that only 51% of the types of prenatal multivitamins marketed in the United States contain iodine [ 46 ] and according to 2001â2006 NHANES data, 15% of lactating women and 20% of non-pregnant and pregnant women in the United States take a supplement containing iodine [ 47 ].
