Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without Itby Dr. The basal body temperature test is a great way to check your thyroid function at home. The reference range for thyroid health are too broad so people often don’t get diagnosed when they have thyroid issues. Nearly half of the US population is iodine deficient. Brownstein’s observed an ideal amount of iodine as 25 milligrams a day. Iodine has long been known for its strong anti-infective properties.
