Iodine, Brand Name : Ashten, Packing Size : 50 Kg

Iodine is an essential mineral that the body needs for thyroid hormone production, which regulates metabolism and is crucial for brain and bone development. It's a chemical element, specifically the heaviest stable halogen. At room temperature, it appears as a lustrous, dark solid that sublimes (turns directly into a vapor) to form a deep violet gas. Iodine is obtained through diet from sources like fish, dairy, seaweed, and iodized salt, and is used medically as an antiseptic and to prevent iodine deficiency disorders like goiter and cretinism.
