Iodine Liquid Concentrate

Description

Iodine’s primary role is to support a healthy thyroid gland by activating the production of thyroxine, a hormone that is needed throughout the body for energy production. About 50 to 60 percent of the body’s Iodine is stored in the thyroid gland, the rest is distributed throughout the body, especially in ovaries, breast and prostate tissue, muscles, and blood. Women require higher Iodine amounts during periods of puberty and pregnancy.Iodine plays an important role in many of the body’s functions. It helps to support:Thyroid hormones, which control proper body metabolism that can influence energy production and body temperature Thyroid function, which influences the adrenal glandsHealthy reproductive functionNerve and muscle functionCellular oxygen useHealthy hair, skin, and bonesThe breakdown of fats and proteinsIodine can become depleted when one is exposed to heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum and bromide.Deficiency Indicators:Cold hands and feet, fatigue, sleeping all the time, brittle hair, dry skin, increased blood fats, inability to concentrate, heavy periods, occasional bowel irregularity, hoarseness, and delayed reflexes.The diagnosis of Iodine deficiency is based on tests indicating low levels of thyroid hormones or a high level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
