The thyroid gland’s main role in the body is to regulate our metabolic rate. Specifically, the thyroid uses iodine to produce thyroid gland hormones known as T3 ( triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). If the body doesn’t have enough iodine, the production of these hormones can be adversely affected.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion clearfix open\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordionHeader\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"fa fa-caret-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Importance of Form: Potassium Iodate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordionBody\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contentelement clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003ePure iodine wouldn’t absorb well in the body.
