Free of all common allergens | Vegetarian | For healthy thyroid function BUY NOW! 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. Brand Supplementspot.
