Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder caused by a deficiency of thyroid hormone. Iodine deficiency is the major cause of hypothyroidism worldwide in iodine deficient areas. In iodine replete areas, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the major cause of hypothyroidism. A diet low in iodine can cause an enlarged thyroid gland (goitre) and affect fertility, increase infant mortality and cause mental retardation in offspring called cretinism³. Clinical signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, depression, constipation, impaired cognitive function including forgetfulness, cold intolerance, hair loss and menstrual irregularities¹. Groups most at risk are children, pregnant and breastfeeding women and neonates.
If you need help with a thyroid problem contact ALL naturopath to discuss.

Iodine deficiency affects more than 1 billion people worldwide and is the leading cause of preventable brain damage¹. Iodine deficiency causes hypothyroidism by decreasing thyroid hormone production. To increase iodine levels, fortification programs have been implemented in a majority of countries through salt iodisation, bread and milk fortification. Goitrogens can block iodine absorption and need to be considered when fortification programs are implemented. Research shows an excess of iodine as well as deficiency can instigate hypothyroidism.

Supplementing iodine at 150ug daily for all adults may decrease iodine deficiency and improve thyroid disease outcomes. However, studies are conflicting and suggest that incorrect levels of iodine supplementation can cause thyroid disease.

Generally, iodine supplementation through food fortification has showed conflicting results in that iodine levels were repleted but with negative adverse effects on thyroid function. Additionally, positive effects on thyroid disease were found in pregnant women with iodised salt, children using iodised oil and pregnant women using supplements.

Iodine supplementation fortified into salt is the most practical and cost-effective avenue of repleting iodine status worldwide and therefore correcting low thyroid function. However, the amount of fortification and correcting the balance of iodine status is conflicting and needs further studies.
