Yes, the speed at which you absorb Iodine is determined by how deficient your body is. It is usually recommended to place spot of iodine the size of a silver dollar on your stomach. If the Iodine disappears in less than 24 hours, then you are deficient.

Iodine.
What is the growth hormone that iodine makes?
Thyroid hormone needs iodine to function. The lack of iodine in the diet can cause the thyroid to enlarge as it is trying to overcompensate. This something we call goiter. In many countries iodine is added to salt.
What are the roles of iodine in the body?
The thyroid gland needs iodine to produce the body hormone thyroxine, which regulates the release of energy in the body.
Are there vitamins in iodized salt?
No- but there IS a mineral- iodine- that the human body needs.
What are facts about iodine?
Iodine is an essential mineral that the body needs for the production of thyroid hormones. It is found in seafood, dairy products, and iodized salt. Iodine deficiency can lead to thyroid disorders and other health problems.
How plants meet their basic needs?
Absorb water and photosynthesize
What absorbs magnetic fields?
Materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron and nickel, can absorb magnetic fields. Superconductors can also absorb magnetic fields when they are cooled below their critical temperature.
What gland needs iodine to function correctly?
The thyroid gland needs iodine to produce thyroid hormones, which are important for regulating metabolism and other bodily functions. Without enough iodine, the thyroid gland may become enlarged (known as a goiter) and lead to hormonal imbalances.
Which type of chemical reaction needs to absorb energy to proceed?
endothermic
How does iodized salt help in preventing thyroid problems?
A small amount of either sodium iodide salt or potassium iodide salt is added. The thyroid needs iodine to make its four hormones and if it cannot get the amount of iodine it needs a person will have low thyroid hormone levels and may develop a goiter. The iodine supplementation in iodized salt reduces the chance of these problems.
What is the balanced equation of magnesium iodide?
Magnesium is a group 2 metal and Iodine is group 7 so MgI2 because Mg needs to loose 2 electrons to gain a full outer shell and Iodine only wants 1 electron so there needs to be 2 Iodine atoms.
What iodine makes?
Iodine is reactive because it has 7 valence electrons and is unstable. It needs one more electron to get 8, which would give it a noble gas configuration, and which would make the iodine atom stable. Iodine reacts with other elements in order to gain the needed electron and therefore become stable.
