1. can iodine help in wound care?

Iodine can be used very well as a disinfectant for wounds. In doing so, iodine can kill bacteria, spores and fungi and cleanse the skin. Iodine tinctures, which are often used on very large wounds, kill microorganisms. The iodine is released directly into the wound and cleans the wound from the inside. Nowadays, povidone iodine is used more frequently. Iodine is incorporated in such a way that it is used more slowly and is better tolerated by humans. Povidone iodine is not only used for wounds, but also for preparations for operations.

2. what is the daily requirement of iodine?

The recommended daily intake increases, however, with physical activity, as iodine is excreted through sweat. The recommended daily intake of iodine for pregnant and breastfeeding women is approx. 230 µg, as they have to provide for their child as well. However, these recommended values do not apply to people with an increased iodine requirement due to illness. One should generally keep in mind that age, weight and size always play a significant role.
