Iodine is an essential component of two of the three thyroid hormones, abbreviated T3 and T4 with the number describing the number of Iodine atoms in each hormone. It is important to have iodine in the diet. One large boiled egg has 12micrograms or 8% dietary value though this is an average of all eggs.

In an egg almost all of the iodine is in the yolk. Only 5% is in the albumin.
