  • Sesame seeds
  • Soybeans
  • Spinach

Other Notes :

  • Milk also contains it since the machinery which stores it is treated with iodine containing chemicals for disinfection.
  • Other iodine rich foods are yogurt, strawberries, eggs, and mozzarella cheese
  • Iodine containing substances are also found in conditioning agents for bread dough, so it can be found in breads. and other bread products. Iodized salt is still the best way to make sure that enough iodine is in the diet. Since salt has been iodized, iodine based thyroid dysfunction has plummeted.

  • Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, depression, weight gain, hair loss, feeling cold often, constipation, brittle or splitting nails, memory problems, and dry skin.
  • Iodine will help produce thyroid hormones and so can aid in alleviating many of these symptoms. When thyroid hormones are too low, the pituitary gland produces a hormone that stimulates your thyroid to take more iodine out of the blood. The iodine is used to produce the hormones and restore the original levels of thyroid hormones.
  • Usually there’s about 20 to 30 mg of iodine stored in your body. When iodine becomes depleted, you aren’t able to make enough thyroid hormone. This is where iodine supplementation can save you and get those hormones pumping again.
  • There are foods called goitrogens that have compounds that can interfere with iodine absorption. These foods include cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, soy, pine nuts, and millet.
