Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxine hormone. In case iodine is deficient in our diet, there is a possibility that we might suffer from goitre.

So this 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 also produce 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

Iodised salt is considered a mixture because it consists of two components: regular table salt (sodium chloride) and an added iodine compound, typically potassium iodide or potassium iodate. These components retain their individual properties and can be present in varying proportions. Thus, iodised salt does not have a uniform composition throughout, which is characteristic of mixtures.
