It is a salt prepared by oxidising Iodine and is most popularly used in the process of iodisation of table salt used in day to day diet. In most countries around the world it is mandatory as per government norms to add iodise the salt. Iodine deficiency is the number one cause of preventable mental retardation around the globe and it affects around 2 billion people.
