Iodine's primary role is to support a healthy thyroid gland by activating the production of thyroxine, which is needed throughout the body for energy production. About 50 to 60 percent of the body's Iodine is stored in the thyroid gland. The rest is distributed throughout the body, especially in ovaries, breast and prostate tissue, muscles, and blood. Women may require higher Iodine amounts during puberty and pregnancy. Iodine plays an important role in many of the body's functions.
