Thyroid gland produces a hormone called thyroxine which controls the rate of metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the body Iodine is necessary for making thyroxine hormone by thyroid gland, therefore, the deficiency of iodine in diet causes deficiency of thyroxin which results into a disease known as goitre. Iodised salt contains appropriate amount of iodine compounds which provide all the iodine needed by the thyroid gland to make sufficient thyroxin.
