Iodine Dietary Sources
Iodine dietary sources—iodized salt, dairy, fish, eggs—support thyroid needs; fancy salts and kelp megadoses can overshoot or undershoot.
Iodine dietary sources include iodized salt, dairy, eggs, seaweed, and fish—trace mineral needed for thyroid hormone production. Sea salt and fancy salts may lack iodine unless labeled.
Excess seaweed or kelp supplements can overshoot iodine. Vegan diets without iodized salt or seaweed need deliberate planning.
Thyroid symptoms belong with clinicians, not self-iodine experiments. Check salt labels at home and when eating out to avoid accidental zero-iodine weeks.
