Radioactive iodine (I-131), an isotope of iodine that emits radiation, is used for medical purposes. When a small dose of I-131 is swallowed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and concentrated from the blood by the thyroid gland, where it begins destroying the gland's cells.

Iodine is needed in the body for the production of Thyroxine hormone from the Throid Gland. Thyroxine hormone helps in regulating the amount of fats, carbohydrates and protein in our body.
