Iodine – an essential trace element with many functions

Iodine is a vital, essential trace element, meaning the body cannot produce it on its own. We must regularly obtain it through our diet. Iodine is well known for supporting thyroid function and maintaining normal skin. But it's also crucial for energy metabolism, brain function, and the nervous system. A deficiency in iodine can negatively affect mental performance. In liquid form, iodine is easy to dose and simple to take.

What are Unimedica iodine drops made of?

Unimedica iodine drops contain only elemental iodine in the form of potassium iodide, dissolved in pure water. They are free from any additives and are vegan.

Essential for normal thyroid function

Iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid. It plays a key role in the body's production of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Through these hormones, iodine regulates metabolism and the cardiovascular system.

Natural iodine sources are rare

Iodine is added to table salt and is found in eggs, milk, and dairy products, but mainly in sea fish and seafood. Algae often contain too much iodine for most people. With iodine, more is not better — the right dosage is crucial. More than 500 µg per day is not recommended. Both too little and too much iodine can impair thyroid function.

Why our diet lacks iodine

Soil and drinking water in Europe naturally contain very little iodine. As a result, plant-based foods are low in iodine. Since the 1980s, iodine has been added to foods like salt and animal feed. However, iodised salt is slightly more expensive than regular salt, making it less appealing for the food industry. It is therefore used more sparingly today.

When iodine supplementation is recommended

Tailoring iodine intake precisely to individual needs is not always feasible. For this reason, targeted supplementation with Unimedica iodine drops can be useful, especially during increased iodine requirements, in cases of diagnosed iodine deficiency, or for those on a purely vegan diet. One daily dose (5 drops) of Unimedica iodine drops provides exactly the recommended daily amount of 150 µg of elemental iodine.
