Iodine is crucial for thyroid hormone synthesis, with the body containing about 20 mg, primarily stored in the thyroid gland. Dietary sources include seafood, dairy, and iodized salt, with a recommended daily allowance of 150-200 µg. Iodine deficiency can lead to conditions such as goiter and cretinism, necessitating iodized salt consumption in iodine-poor regions.
