Trace elements are required by an organism in small amounts. Some trace elements such as iron (Fe) are needed by all forms of life, others are only required by certain species, for example; For vertebrates (animals with a back bone) the element iodine (I) is an essential ingredient of a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. A daily intake of only 0.15mg of iodine is adeqate for normal activity of the human thyroid. An iodine deficiency in the diet causes the thyroid gland to grow to an abnormal size, a condition called goitre. eating sea food or iodised salt reduces the incidence of gotire.
