| Recommendation | Why | Get started |
|---|---|---|
| Ask about iodine | Ask your healthcare provider if your goiter may be caused by too little or too much iodine in your body. | |
| Ensure proper nutrition | Nutrient deficiencies, including zinc, manganese, and vitamin A, and severe protein malnutrition contribute to an inability to use iodine well and to goiter development. |
