Did you know that even a mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy is associated with negative effects on the child’s cognitive development? The World Health Organization refers to an iodine deficiency as “the single most important preventable cause of brain damage worldwide.” (1,2)
That means if your child is not getting enough iodine, his brain will be negatively affected.
What is iodine?
It is an essential nutrient that cannot be made by the body alone. You must get iodine from diet or supplementation.
That’s why if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's especially important to ensure that you are consuming enough iodine each day.
Studies show that iodine deficiency during gestation and infancy can cause neurological damage to the brain which manifests as delayed motor and mental development.
When comparing the IQ points of iodine-deficient children with those children who were sufficient in iodine, those who were deficient had IQ levels of up to 10.2 points lower than those who were not iodine-deficient. (3)
How much Iodine do I need?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the recommended daily amount of iodine is as follows:
● Women: 150 mcg per day
● During pregnancy: 220 mcg per day
● Breastfeeding: 290 mcg per day
The CDC recommends that women who are pregnant or breast feeding should supplement with iodine since most mothers do not consume enough iodine in their diets. (4)
It’s important to remember that these guidelines were established to prevent the development of medical problems that arise from iodine deficiency, such as goiter and cretinism. Meaning, that these daily DOSES are the absolute MINIMUM a person should get. However, many experts agree that the optimal daily dose of iodine is actually much higher (3,000-6,000 mcg per day.) †
