It is made to compensate the lack of iodine, normally affecting people that live far from the sea and not eating enough fish and other seafood that contains natural iodine.

Iodine deficiency can produce goitre and mental retardation and is a global problem. Excessive use of table salt (NaCl) is also harmful, so a balanced seafood diet is better against mental and other malnutrition problems.
