Nutritional Herbal Supplement Safety and Health Diet

Is iodine safe?

Consuming up to 10 times the Daily Value for iodine is safe and without side effects, although there is no known reason to consume this much.

Long-term intake of very high amounts of iodine can cause enlargement of the thyroid gland resembling goiter.


How much iodine do I need?

The Daily Value for iodine is 150mcg. per day for adults.

Poor intake of iodine results in hypothyroidism (sluggish thyroid function) and the development of goiters.

Iodine deficiency during pregnancy results in cretinism in the infant, which is characterized by irreversible mental and physical retardation.
