The United States Food and Drug Administration recommends 150 micrograms of iodine per day for both men and women. This is necessary for proper production of thyroid hormone. Natural sources of iodine include sea life, such as kelp and certain seafood, as well as plants grown on iodine-rich soil. Salt for human consumption is often enriched with iodine and is referred to as iodized salt.1

What else can I help you with?
Iodine is essential for the synthesis of what hormones?
TSH (thyroid stimulation hormone) Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxin hormone. ( T3 and T4)
Which hormone contain iodine?
Iodine is found in thyroxine.It is secreted by thyroid
Which hormone requires iodine?
The hormone that requires iodine is Thyroid :)
Which endocrine gland requires iodine to produce it's hormone?
The thyroid gland requires iodine to produce thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Iodine is an essential component for the synthesis of thyroid hormones within the thyroid follicular cells.
Can a thyroid gland grow back after it is chemically destroyed with radioactive iodine?
Once the thyroid gland is destroyed with radioactive iodine, it cannot regenerate. Patients may require lifelong hormone replacement therapy to manage their thyroid hormone levels.
This mineral is a part of thyroid hormones and regulates growth and development?
The element that is most commonly added to table salt (also known as sodium iodine) thathelps control thyroid function is iodine. To make sure you are getting the proper table salt inyour 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.
What is iodine necessary for?
Iodine is needed for the normal metabolism of cells. Metabolism is the process of converting food into energy. Humans need iodine for normal thyroid function, and for the production of thyroid hormones
What must be available for Thyroxine to be synthesized?
Thyroxine is synthesized in the body from tyrosine, an amino acid. In order for thyroxine synthesis to occur, iodine must also be available as it is a key component of the molecule. Additionally, enzymes such as thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin are needed for the synthesis process to take place.
Is iodine found in thyroid hormones?
No. Iodine is not found in the thyroid hormones, but Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxin hormone. Actually yes, iodine is found in the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, the most common forms of thyroid hormone.
How iodine gets inside thyroid gland cells?
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.
What is necessary for the production of thyroid hormone?
Many things are necessary for the production of thyroid hormone. *Fuel* for the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone however, is iodine.
What is an element that is present in thyroxine?
Iodine is the element present in thyroxine, which is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, including thyroxine, which plays a key role in regulating metabolism and various physiological functions in the body.
