Free of all common allergens | Vegetarian | For healthy
thyroid function
Overview
Iodine is a trace mineral that is essential for healthy thyroid
function. Iodine also provides the crucial building blocks for the
hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. The availability of
iodized salt, the most common source of iodine, has made iodine
deficiency and its accompanying disorder, goiter, very rare in the
United States and the developed world. Foods rich in Iodine
include seafood, sea vegetables, kelp and vegetables grown in
iodine-rich soils. Iodine's only known function is the role it
plays in proper thyroid function. Healthy thyroid function is
important for abnormal metabolism, oxygen consumption and energy
production. The iodine-dependent hormones that are produced by the
thyroid control such functions as body temperature, physical
growth, reproduction and the growth of skin and hair. Our Iodine
is derived exclusively from Kelp and is available in vegetarian
capsules that are 225 mcg each.
Research Indicates
- Studies indicate iodine deficiency may be related to
fibrocystic breast disease
- Important for fetal brain development
- Effectively treats goiter (enlarged thyroid)
- Important nutrient for proper growth and physical
development of children
Dosage
Typical daily dosage ranges from 50 to 250 mcg.
Cautions
- If you are pregnant or lactating consult a health care
practitioner prior to taking Iodine from Kelp.
- Ironically, there have been reports of an occasional side
effect associated with Iodine that results in an enlargement
of the thyroid gland resembling goiter. The condition is
called "iodine goiter." If you experience this,
discontinue using Iodine and consult your health care
practitioner.
