Iodine - an essential trace element with many roles

Iodine is a vital, essential trace element. This means the body cannot produce it itself. We must take it in regularly through our diet. Iodine is known to support thyroid function and the maintenance of normal skin. It is also important for energy metabolism, our cognitive functions and the nerves. Insufficient iodine can have a negative effect on mental performance. In liquid form iodine is easy to dose and straightforward to take.

What are the iodine drops made of?

Unimedica iodine drops contain only elemental iodine as potassium iodide, dissolved in pure water. They are free from other additives and are vegan.

Indispensable for normal thyroid function

Iodine helps the thyroid to function normally. It is crucially involved in the body's production of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Through the thyroid and its hormones, iodine helps regulate metabolism and the cardiovascular system.

Natural sources of iodine are scarce

Iodine is added to table salt and is found in eggs, milk and dairy products, but above all in sea fish and seafood. The iodine content of seaweed is, for many, far too high. With iodine, more is not necessarily better. The correct dose is important. More than 500 µg of iodine daily is not recommended. Too little harms thyroid function just as much as too much iodine.

Why we have too little iodine in our diet

Soils and drinking water in Europe naturally contain little iodine. This means that plant foods contain only small amounts of iodine. Since the 1980s, iodine has therefore been added to foods such as salt and to animal feeds. Iodised table salt is, however, slightly more expensive than plain salt, which represents an additional cost factor for the food industry. As a result, it is now used more sparingly.

When supplementary iodine intake is indicated

However, such tailored dosing is not possible for every individual. For these reasons, in cases of increased iodine requirements, confirmed deficiency or a strictly vegan diet, targeted supplementation with Unimedica iodine drops can be helpful. A daily dose (5 drops) of Unimedica iodine drops supplies the body with exactly the recommended daily intake of 150 µg elemental iodine.
