Is iodine absorbed through active transport or osmosis?

I'm not sure about how it's absorbed in the gut but I would ume that it is through active transportation. If you're talking about iodine going to the thyroid gland, then it is most certainly active transportation as I think they thyroid has an iodine concentration of about 40-45 times that in the blood.
