text: Iodine is located mostly in the thyroid gland (70-80%), but is also stored elsewhere, such as skin, muscle and fat.i Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones triodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), which regulate the metabolic pattern of all cells that have DNA (ie: mature red blood cells do not have DNA) and play a vital role in the process of early growth and development of most organs, especially the brain.
