Keywords:

Iodine deficiency has multiply of adverse effectes in the human organism, which are termed «iodine deficiency disorders» (IDD). Iodine deficiency disorders are one of the most prevalent alimentary-dependent diseases in population. Adequate iodine consumption during fetal development and in early childhood contribute to the brain maturation, development of associative connections and myelination of nerve fibers; improve cognitive functions of the child. The iodized salt usage is the effective approach in children and adults, but has limitations in pregnant, lactating mothers and young children. In these groups of population, the supplementation with potassium iodide drugs is recommended: pregnant and lactating women have to supply in addition to the diet 200 μg of iodine every day. In the second half of the 1-st year of life the total volume of breast milk in baby's diet decreases, so the fortification of complementary foods with potassium iodide recommended: 50 μg of iodine can be added to any meal.References
