Iodine Requirements
A teaspoon of iodine is all a person requires in a lifetime, but because iodine cannot be stored for long periods, small amounts are needed regularly. The Institute of Medicine, or IOM, recommended dietary allowances for iodine are:
1 to 8 years old: 90 micrograms
9 to 13 years old: 120 micrograms
14 years and older: 150 micrograms
Pregnant: 220 micrograms
Lactating: 290 micrograms
