Hi Susan,
Iodine is required for proper function of the thyroid gland, lack of it contributes to hypothyroid conditions and goiters.
You can get iodine by taking multivitamin/mineral supplements that contain potassium iodide, eating seafood and kelp, and/or using iodized table salt or sea salt. Be careful of using salt, as it can contribute to other problems, like high blood pressure.
