However, those who are following a strict diet that prevents them from eating any fish, which is a particularly good iodine food source, may want to consider taking iodine supplements.

In response to the Lancet article, the Department of Health’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition asked for a review of the current evidence 10 that some degree of iodine deficiency might affect some groups within the UK population. They agreed that “the issue of iodine intakes is of considerable public health significance, although the Committee is cautious in drawing conclusions on current evidence due to the limitations of the available data,” 12

Enough iodine tincture (a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide) is placed on a cotton ball to paint a two-inch circle in a soft place of your body such as your inner thigh or upper arm. If the painted area has disappeared after an hour, your body is seriously deficient in iodine. If the painted area is still there after four hours, your body is not deficient in iodine. However, there is no evidence that this is a reliable test on humans. 27 The above uses and effects are consequences of the fact that the solution is a source of effectively free elemental iodine, which is readily generated from the equilibrium between elemental iodine molecules and polyiodide ions in the solution.
