EFSA has proposed adequate intakes of iodine for children, adults and pregnant and lactating women. Iodine is an essential nutrient for humans, as it is an integral component of thyroid hormones.

Insufficient intake can lead to impaired thyroid function and disorders at all stages of development, particularly in pregnancy and infancy.
