Requirements for Iodine, food sources, and deficiency dangers
Question
Hi Doctor Tanya Zilberter, PhD.
What is the recommended daily requirement for iodine for an average male?
Dear Angel,
Men 19 years and older is recommended to consume 150 microgram a day. Iodine deficiency is considered mild if daily intake is 50-99 microgram, moderate is at 20-49 microgram/d, and severe is below 20 microgram/d.
