abstract = "The circulation of iodine in nature consists of transferring iodine to the soil through air and rain.The rain brings iodine to the upper layers of the soil, but also washes it out of the soil. Iodine in inclined and erosive soil surfaces is more susceptible to being washed away back into the seas and oceans via rivers. In most cases, iodine-deficient areas are in- land areas far away from seas and oceans. In areas where there is enough iodine, the adult thyroid gland receives 60μg of iodine per day, in order to balance the losses and establish the synthesis of thyroid hormones.In recent years, the offer of iodine supplementation on the Serbian market has been growing, especially in the form of natural preparations, mainly based on green walnut (Juglans regia) extract. Based on the observation that the tree leaves, and especially the green peel of young walnuts, have some properties of iodine (dark coloring the hands), it is assumed the plant is a rich source of iodine.The aim of this research was to determine the iodine content in soil samples on which walnut grows, walnuts in the early stage of fruit development (green walnut) and walnut leaves, domestic extracts and preparations on which the declaration claims to contain iodine.",
