An Iodine intake of 150 mcg/day has been suggested as sufficient for all adults and adolescents.
The RDA for pregnant and lactating women is increased to 25 mcg and 50 mcg respectively.
The RDA is 40 mcg for infants up to 6 months of age, and 50 mcg for older infants.
The RDA for children is between 70 and 120 mcg, increasing with age (or body size).
