4. Iodine
   Getting enough iodine is important for everyone! Iodine is a mineral used by the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones. These hormones help control growth, repair damaged cells, and support a healthy metabolism. Seaweed, depending on the type, where it was grown, and how it was processed is one of the best sources of iodine. Nearly 1 teaspoon of dried kelp may contain over 100% of an adult’s recommended daily intake. Too much iodine can be harmful! An average adult should stick around 150 micrograms of iodine per day.
5. Iodine is a micronutrient classified as a mineral. It is a trace-mineral meaning it is needed in the body in small amounts. It is an essential nutrient meaning the body cannot make it and therefore it must be
   obtained through the diet.

   to some types of salt, and is available as a supplement. The body cannot store large amounts of iodine which is why we need to consume adequate iodine through diet.lodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. These hormones play an integral role in numerous physiological
   processes including, but not limited to:
   • Body temperature regulation
   • Metabolic rate
   • Reproduction and growth
   • Blood cell production
   • Nerve and muscle function
8. Iodine helps convert thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH) to triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). This conversion is important for the thyroid to function properly.
9. Vegans can encounter iodine deficiency which can cause constant sleepiness and fatigue, dry skin, high
   cholesterol levels, muscle weakness, fertility problems, weight gain, puffy face, anemia, reduced heart rate, hair loss, memory problems and difficulty concentrating and on rare occasions depression.
