Why Is Iodine Important for My Health?

  • Summary

  • In the U.S., iodine is somewhat taken for granted. However, it’s an important thing to keep an eye on because globally, iodine deficiency, especially during pregnancy and the first few years of life, is the leading cause of intellectual impairment.

    In this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we’re talking with Dr. Elizabeth Pearce to learn more about iodine and how we can help make sure our iodine levels support growth and intellectual development.
