Symptoms of iodine deficiency in the body

Iodine is a very crucial mineral for maintaining the health of our body, which is why it is essential to have the right amount of it in our diet.

Iodine deficiency can lead to significant health problems in adults, with the potential to lead to chronic conditions, as well as cause brain damage in children.

“Populations living in areas deficient in iodine will always be at risk of developing disorders caused by this deficiency, which have a very serious impact on human, social and economic development levels,” says the Virtual Health Library/Ministry of Health.
