The thyroid gland uses iodine from food to make two thyroid hormones : Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4).
A low intake of iodine can lead to an increased output of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) . If TSH increases , the thyroid takes in more iodine from the blood , to balance the need of iodine . This could happen if daily iodine levels fall below 100mcg per day .
