Today, most cases of iodine deficiency occur in developing nations. In industrialized countries where iodized salt is used, iodine deficiency has become extremely rare. Excessive iodine intake can result in either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Sources of iodine include foods (iodized salt, milk, water, seaweed, ground beef), dietary supplements (multiple vitamin\/mineral formulas, seaweed extracts), drugs (potassium iodide, amiodarone, topical antiseptics), and iodine-containing solutions used in certain laboratory tests. Many nutritional supplements contain 150 mcg of iodine. While that amount of iodine should prevent a deficiency, it is not clear whether supplementing with iodine is necessary or desirable for most individuals.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Avoid goitrogens<\/b>, chemicals that can enlarge the thyroid and interfere with thyroid hormone production. These include: canola oil, uncooked cabbage family vegetables<sup>1<\/sup>, cassava, corn, sweet potatoes, lima beans, soy and pearl millet. It is recommended that these be avoided but no research suggests that they cause hypothyroidism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThyroid extracts are available as nutritional supplements in capsules and tablets. As thyroid extract is not an essential nutrient, therefore, no deficiency state exists. The recommended intake depends on the concentration, method of preparation, and quality of the thyroid extract. Follow the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendation on the label.\n\nNo side effects or adverse reactions have been reported. However, people taking prescription thyroid hormones should consult their doctor before using non-prescription thyroid extracts.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-11022076942\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-11022076942\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-71e88c60 e-con-full e-flex cmsmasters-block-default e-con e-child\" data-id=\"71e88c60\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4181f30f e-con-full e-flex cmsmasters-block-default e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4181f30f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13fa15ff cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"13fa15ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"symptoms\">Symptoms<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30100696 e-con-full e-flex cmsmasters-block-default e-con e-child\" data-id=\"30100696\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e49ed34 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e49ed34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHypothyroidism symptoms can be different for each individual, but often include several of the these:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Feeling fatigue, &#8220;slowed down&#8221;, lethargy<\/li>\n \t<li>Increased sensitivity to cold<\/li>\n \t<li>Constipation or hard stool<\/li>\n \t<li>Weight gain<\/li>\n \t<li>Sadness or depression<\/li>\n \t<li>Heavy menstruation<\/li>\n \t<li>Dry skin or dry, brittle fingernails<\/li>\n \t<li>Muscle or joint pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf early symptoms are not treated then additionally hoarseness, decreased sense of taste and smell, puffy hands, feet, face, slow speech, skin thickens, or eyebrows getting thinner may result.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-11022076943\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-11022076943\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-14419013 e-con-full e-flex cmsmasters-block-default e-con e-child\" data-id=\"14419013\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73513a5f e-con-full e-flex cmsmasters-block-default e-con e-child\" data-id=\"73513a5f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c6d67de cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c6d67de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"causes\">Causes<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18cca939 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18cca939\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor most of us there is more than one trigger for low thyroid function.
