    Iodine is a key raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormone, which is one of the main hormones responsible for metabolism. Like iron, iodine plays an important role in the intelligence and physical development of fetuses and infants. Iodine deficiency will have disastrous consequences on children's IQ. Iodized salt is the best and sufficient source of iodine. Pregnant women and mothers who consume iodized salt do not need to supplement iodine. Infants and young children should also consume a small amount of iodized salt.
