Iodine

Iodine is critical to foetal and infant brain development, which is why health experts recommend that this mineral is taken both during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

This is because iodine supports a healthy thyroid function and the normal production of thyroid hormones. During pregnancy, the foetus depends on the supply of thyroid hormones to ensure the proper development of the brain and nervous system.

Iodine deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to a lower IQ and poor growth in children.
