Iodine plays a crucial role in the normal production of thyroid hormones and contributes significantly to the normal function of the thyroid gland. As already explained, the thyroid gland is the internal thermostat of the human body and reacts sensitively to the availability of iodine. Its activity leads to the formation and release of special hormones, the so-called thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). These hormones regulate a variety of metabolic processes that affect all organs and systems in the body at all stages of life, starting with foetal development. The metabolic functions controlled by thyroid hormones include growth and development of various organs, including the brain.
