Iodine is an essential micronutrient in the diet which is used by the thyroid gland (located in the throat) to produce thyroid hormones which help control the body’s metabolism. The two most important thyroid hormones are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroxine has four iodine molecules attached to it’s structure‚ while triiodothyronine has three iodine molecules attached
