The element that is most commonly added to table salt (also known as sodium iodine) that helps control thyroid function is iodine. To make sure you are getting the proper table salt in your diet the container will say "iodinized salt."
The thyroid naturally absorbs iodine as part of the synthesis process in storing, and secreting, thyroid hormone into the body. After this process is complete, leftover iodine gets absorbed by other body tissues and flushed out of the body through urination.
Including iodinized salt in your daily diet is important because it can help prevent thyroid conditions such as a goiter. A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the thyroid gland becoming enlarged. Worldwide, the most common cause of a goiter is due to a lack of iodine in our daily diet.
